The film starts with scenes in which police are in search of Vishal Agnihotri who is the killer of four prominent personalities of the city. Suddenly, Vishal comes on the scene talking with a prominent lawyer. He deals with the lawyer to prove him innocent in court for Rs.100 million. According to the deal, the lawyer proves Vishal innocent by presenting wrong witnesses wrongfully. When the judge is about to announce the decision, Vishal kills his lawyer and accepts his guilt of killing four people. The news spreads in the media like a forest fire. An inquiry committee was constituted to see the other side of the picture in Vishal's case. Vishal appears before the committee and the film goes flashback - A Kandivali based honest school-teacher, Sachidanand Agnihotri has always faced problems due to his honesty, first with Poornima School; then to a Government school, and now he has come forward to testify against the sexual assault and murder of a young woman from Worli. Sachidanand points an accusing finger at Nagesh, the son of prominent and influential Jaspal Rana. Sachidanand's family, which consists of his wife, Gayetri, and son, Vishal, attempt in vain to talk him out of testifying. Vishal falls in love with Neha. The Police are forced to arrest Nagesh and hold him in a cell. Then the Police, headed by a corrupt Assistant Commissioner of Police, Kamble, attempt to intimidate Sachidanand and follow him everywhere under the pretext of protection. Sachidanand is driven out of his mind, and on the day of the testimony, Nagesh's lawyer, Ashok Pradhan, confuses him to such an extent that Sachidanand kills himself. Vishal, who is being held in prison for assaulting several policemen, breaks out, abducts Nagesh, and then kills Ashok Pradhan. When Kamble comes to Nagesh's rescue, Vishal kills both of them. He then hunts down Jaspal Rana and eventually kills him. The film comes in the present. After listening to Vishal's story, the court hands Vishal a sentence of 4 years to life imprisonment for which he tells the judge not to appoint people like Jaspal Rana to be ministers so people like him would have to take the law into their own hands.
