Subhash Nagre runs a parallel government in the city where he has a cult following. When his enemies plot to murder him, his son takes charge and stands up against them.
Meet Subhash Nagre - a wealthy and influential resident of Bombay. He lives in a palatial house with his wife, Pushpa; sons Vishnu and his wife Amrita and their son; a second son, named Shankar, in the United States. Subhash and his family are thrilled when Shankar returns home, in the company of a gorgeous long-legged young woman named Pooja, who he plans to marry soon. While Subhash adores both his sons, he shows his open disappointment for Vishnu, whose language, childish actions, and his affair with a Bollywood actress named Sapna are just few of his wrong actions. When Vishnu finds out that a Bollywood actor is attempting to start an affair with Sapna, he angrily guns him down in front of several witnesses. Subhash asks Vishnu to leave the house, and thereafter Vishnu is arrested and charged with murder. Then all hell breaks lose in the Nagre household when a politician named Motilal Khurana is killed, and the killer names Subhash as the person who hired him to do this killing. Subhash is arrested, and held in prison - there is no hope for him in the courts as he has been already been found guilty - not for this killing - but for acting as a power unto himself - a mafia-like Godfather - who metes out justice - when justice fails. Watch how circumstances force Subhash to come to terms that he no longer is influential and no one will come forward to assist him; Shankar is abducted and disappears, and the one who has hired to kill him is none other than his son - Vishnu.—rAjOo ([email protected])
Subhash Nagre (Amitabh Bachchan), who is known by his followers as Sarkar, lives in Mumbai. The opening scenes show a sexual assault victim's father (Veerendra Saxena) approaching Sarkar for justice which the corrupt law and order system has failed to deliver. The police and the court made a mockery of the victim by claiming that she is a prostitute. The victim killed herself with humiliation. The case was closed by proving that the victim was mentally unstable.Sarkar promptly establishes the law by having the perpetrator beaten up by his henchmen including Chander (Ravi Kale). The man's penis is broken up by Sarkar's henchmen, so he can never assault anyone ever again. But he is not killed, so he can live his life with humiliation and disability.
Sarkar is stopping a political developer named Khurana from demolishing the slums to erect high rises on the land. Khurana is backed by the Chief Minister Madan (Deepak Shirke). Sarkar is adamant in his opposition as he is answerable to the people of the country.Sarkar has wife Pushpa (Supriya Pathak) and friend's daughter Avantika (Tanishaa Mukerji). Sarkar had promised Avantika's father at his deathbed, that he would get Avantika married to Shankar. Khan Saab (Ishrat Ali) is Sarkar's chief advisor.
His son, Vishnu (Kay Kay Menon), plays a foul-mouthed producer who is more interested in the film actress Sapna (Nisha Kothari) than his wife Amrita (Rukhsar). Sarkar is not happy with Vishnu taking matters into his own hands with the developer, which tends to make things worse.Vishnu is friends with Vishram (Raju Mavani).Sarkar's other, more upright son, Shankar (Abhishek Bachchan), returns from the United States with his love Pooja (Katrina Kaif) after completing his education there.Pooja's doubts Sarkar's don image and tries to convince Shankar. Shankar firmly believes in his father's righteousness.
Sarkar also stops his former associate Selvar Mani from authorizing a Telecom project in the state that would bring bonded labor from Hyderabad.
One day, a Dubai-based don, Rasheed (Zakir Hussain) tries to strike a deal with Sarkar to bring drugs into Mumbai for the next 2 years, in exchange for Rs 20 Lakhs per consignment; Sarkar promptly refuses on moral grounds and also forbids him from doing it himself.Rasheed tries to eliminate Sarkar's supremacy with the help of Selvar Mani (Kota Srinivasa Rao), Sarkar's former associate, Vishram and Swami Virendra (Jeeva).Swami says that before killing Sarkar, the idea of Sarkar as a protector of the masses has to be tarnished.
Meanwhile, they trap Sarkar by assassinating a righteous, upright, Ahimsa political leader and an outspoken critic of Sarkar, Motilal Khurana (Anupam Kher). Khurana openly gave interviews in the press calling Sarkar a mere hooligan.Everyone, including Vishnu believe that Sarkar is guilty as Sarkar was opposing Khurana's construction projects, but Shankar has deep faith in his father.
Vishram further instigates Vishnu by telling him that Sapna is having an affair with the hero of Vishnu's movie and the entire set is laughing at Vishnu for not knowing this. Vishnu is enraged and shoots the hero of the movie in front of the entire production team.Vishnu is confronted by Sarkar, but Vishnu says that Sarkar has his priorities wrong and admonishes him for killing Khurana and refusing the deal with Rasheed. Sarkar throws Vishnu out of the house. Sarkar then meets Sapna and offers her his protection against Vishnu. Sapna testifies against Vishnu to the police.Sarkar gets arrested for Khurana's murder when a random person named Ansari testifies that he shot Khurana, and the orders came from Sarkar. Shankar now takes over the position of Sarkar temporarily.
Shankar breaks up with Pooja as she cannot have faith on Shankar's family.On learning of a plot to murder his father in prison, he approaches the police commissioner (Anant Jog) who mocks him and his father besides not providing protection. Nobody is willing to help Shankar. Shankar approaches Selvar Mani, who also refuses as he has been bought by Rasheed. Mani says that Sarkar is not allowing anyone to conduct any business in the city and so, his death has been decided. Shankar is cornered by Rasheed, but Khan Saab sacrifices his life to allow Shankar to escape.By the time Shankar reaches the prison and appropriate action is taken, the attempt on Sarkar's life is already made. Sarkar is later released on bail.Shankar thanks Avantika for taking care of Sarkar.
He remains bedridden as Shankar takes on Sarkar's enemies.Vishram knows that Sarkar is aware of the conspirators who plotted his death. Their days are numbered.Meanwhile, Selva Mani, Swami and Rasheed try to convince Vishnu to murder Sarkar. Vishnu returns home pretending to have repented.
When he approaches Sarkar in the dark of the night with the intent of murdering him, Shankar foils his plan and later kills him (establishing justice by the way of his father).
Shankar eliminates Rasheed and Selva Mani. He also succeeds in making Swami his puppet. Shankar has also realized that Chief Minister Madan Rathore (Deepak Shirke) also has a part in the attempt to end Sarkar and his rule. This results in legal action against the Chief Minister.The closing scenes show people approaching Shankar for justice and his father apparently retired.
