Inspector Chulbul Pandey takes over a local police station in Kanpur following the events of the last movie. He lives there with his wife Rajjo, stepfather Prajapati Pandey, and half-brother Makkhi. An assassin kills a witness in Kanpur who is set to testify against Thakur Bachcha Singh, a notorious politician and thug.
Chulbul finds the assassin and murders him in a coffee shop. Following a number of public arguments, Bachcha’s brother Genda persuades him to fire Pandey by threatening to kill Prajapati Pandey and his entire family if Chulbul continues to meddle in Bachcha’s illicit affairs. At a girl’s wedding, Genda harasses her; Chulbul shows up and requests that Genda leave. Chulbul breaks his neck and dies as a result of Genda’s refusal and continued insults.
Everyone advises Chulbul to leave Bachcha alone for the safety of his family as Rajjo falls pregnant. Before the election, Bachcha vows to exact revenge for his brother’s passing, but he is under pressure from his own party to denounce Genda’s behavior in order to protect his own and his party’s reputation. As Rajjo and Makkhi are exiting a temple, he runs into them. Rajjo is thrown off the temple stairs, and Bachcha shoots Makkhi. Rajjo and Makkhi survive, but Rajjo suffers a miscarriage.
Furious, Chulbul breaks into Bachcha’s place and murders Bachcha and all of his guys. A family shot is requested by Chedi Singh’s photographer after Chulbul and Rajjo give birth to a boy. The photographer takes a picture while they all chuckle.
