PLOT
In a police van, Afaaque Baaghran listens to the story narrated by a gangster, Manya Surve, who is gravely injured by bullets.
Manya is a decent student at Kirti College, Dadar. He is in love with Vidya Joshi and takes her to his mother to discuss their marriage.
Manya has an older brother named Bhargav Surve, who is a mawali (rowdy). Bhargav is in conflict with an underworld don named Bhatkar and is currently on the run. Soon enough, Bhargav is attacked and beaten up by Bhatkar’s goons. Manya steps in to save him. While Manya grabs one of the goons, Bhargav stabs the goon, who dies on the spot.
On the day of Manya’s exam results, before he can learn his grades, Manya and his brother are arrested. Manya is publicly humiliated in the college by Inspector Ambolkar and ends up in Yerwada Central Jail. In prison, a convict named Munir saves Manya from being attacked by a goon named Potya during lunch time. During this assault, Bhargav is killed. Munir befriends Manya and another convict named Veera. Veera trains Manya to become stronger. Manya is eventually challenged by Potya. Potya attacks him from behind and beats Manya up, to which Manya responds by stabbing Potya to death.
Later on, both Manya and Munir escape from prison while they are working on a railway track and try to join hands with two brothers who rule Mumbai’s deals. The elder brother, Zubair Imtiaz Haksar, is cool and is impressed by Manya. However, the younger brother, Dilawar, disapproves of Manya and dislikes him. After this, Manya forms his own gang, which consists of him, Munir, Veera, and Gyancho, a sharpshooter brought by Munir. Soon enough, Manya finishes off Bhatkar (the gangster who had him and his brother arrested). Jamal, Bhatkar’s bodyguard, also joins them. Next, Manya brings Ambolkar to his knees by beating him brutally in public for his earlier humiliation.
The story next shows the death of Sadiq, an unscrupulous news reporter, by the Mastan gang. This leads to a fight between the Haskar brothers and the Mastan gang. A truce is called by Haji Maqsood, which is short lived as the Mastan gang asks Manya to finish off Zubair. After Zubair’s assassination, Dilawar kills Gyancho with the help of Jamal. He is about to kill Munir when Manya saves him. Later, Afaaque is asked to kill Manya by Dilawar. Even after his refusal, at first, he agrees when the police commissioner orders him to. The story comes to an end after the shootout and Manya’s killing by police.
