Synopsis

Ajju Bhai (Aziz Ali) (Farhan Akhtar) works as a goon for Jaffar Bhai (Vijay Raaz) whose work is to bash people and also extort money from them his injuries bring him frequently in encounter with Dr Ananya Prabhu (Mrunal Thakur). Ananya does the basic first aid for Ajju, every time he comes back from a fight with cuts and bruises. Ananya runs a charity hospital for the poor and needy. Sister D'Souza (Supriya Pathak) works at the same hospital as a nurse and cares for Ajju.D'Souza tries to tell Ananya that Ajju is a victim of circumstances. Ananya finds that Ajju is caring for an entire orphanage and starts to like him. Munna (Hussain Dalal) is Ajju's sidekick.

Aziz Ali develops a liking for boxing (he goes to a gym owned by Merchant (Deven Khote) where he does sparring with a few boxers and develops a taste). Merchant says that boxing has respect and inspires him with videos of Muhammad Ali. Parvez (Arhan Chowdary), is Merchant's student, who introduces him to coach Nana Prabhu at a boxing academy.Merchant requests Prabhu to give Ajju a fight against one of his own students. Prabhu figures in one round that Ajju has only raw power and no technique and his student beats Ajju easily. Ajju lands up with Ananya with a busted eye. Ananya also convinces him to take the sport & give up the life of crime.Ananya is Prabhu's daughter.. Prabhu wants Ananya to marry within the community.

Coach Nana Prabhu (Paresh Rawal) refuses to train Ajju, as he is a Muslim and a criminal. Ajju talks about earning respect and Prabhu gives him a chance by telling him to practice the first jab.. Ajju returns after 4 weeks of relentless practice, having perfected the first jab. Prabhu decides to take him under his wings. Soon, Prabhu is impressed with Ajju's hard work and allows him inside his training ring.

Aziz trains well under Prabhu not realizing Annanya is his daughter while she also hides the truth from him. Ananya and Ajju date. Prabhu gets Ajju his boxing license. Ajju goes to Jaffar to quit his gang and quit the life of crime. Jaffar is angry at Ajju and disowns him.Prabhu debuts Ajju in the state boxing championship, which Ajju ends up winning by defeating national champion Dharmesh Patil (Darshan Kumar) (with tips from Prabhu like attacking Dharmesh's weak side, smiling at him, waiting to understand his plan of attack etc etc). Prabhu nicknames Ajju "toofaan"..

Aziz soon becomes a big name in boxing and tells Prabhu about his love. Prabhu is angered after knowing the truth (that Ajju is dating his own daughter Ananya) and throws him out as he doesn't want inter caste marriage (as he blames all Muslims for the death of his wife in a Muslim terrorist attack).Ananya leaves her house and starts living with Aziz (Live-in relationship). Ajju's own neighbors wont allow them to stay together without marriage and they cant get an apartment in Mumbai due to their inter caste nature.

As Ajju and Ananya start facing difficult times in their lives and Aziz is forced to fix a boxing match for money (Rs 12 Lakhs) (& Ajju takes a dive in the national championships) but the truth is exposed and he is banned from boxing for 5 years.Ananya moves out and only forgives Ajju when Munna tells her that the betting was his idea and not Ajju's. Ananya and Ajju get married in court. They start living with D'Souza. Ajju starts driving an Ola cab to earn a living.Soon Ananya is pregnant and gives birth to a daughter. Prabhu still wont meet her or Ajju. Myra Sumati Aziz Ali (Gauri Phulka) grows up quickly and is 4 yrs old. Ajju now has a full fledged cab business.

5 yrs are done and the ban is over. Ananya encourages Ajju to return to boxing. Ananya gets Ajju's boxing license back, but on her way back home, she is killed at the railway station in a terrorist attack. Prabhu attends her funeral secretly.Ajju wants to fulfill Ananya's last wish and goes to Prabhu, who again refuses to train Ajju. The state championships are 3 months away, and Ajju is overweight and out of shape. He starts training on his own. Ajju gets in shape and wins the state championship and qualifies for the Nationals.

In the Nationals, the favorite to win is Railways Boxer Prithvi Singh (Gaganpreet Sharma).. Meanwhile Prabhu meets Myra at a temple and realizes that he has a grand-daughter. He misses Ananya badly.Dharmesh Patil is now a judge at the finals and he has a damaged eye, courtesy his last professional bout with Ajju. Dharmesh is looking for revenge and is judging Ajju's semi-final bout. Dharmesh influence the referee of Aziz's bout who consistently gives decisions against Ajju in the fight. Ajju is hit twice below the belt, and the referee allows the fight to continue. Dharmesh then declares Ajju's opponent as the winner.Prabhu decides to intervene and meets Dharmesh over drinks. A drunk Dharmesh admits that he fixed the fight against Ajju by colluding with the referee. Prabhu had recorded the conversation and plays it in front of the federation. Dharmesh is dismissed and Ajju is put into the finals.

Prabhu asks for Ajju's forgiveness and joins him for the finals bout. Ajju survives the first round, but takes heavy punches against Prithvi. Prabhu asks Ajju to stick to his plan and not play according to Prithvi. Prithvi's bouts rarely go beyond the 1st round, so this is new for him. In the 2nd round, Ajju takes even more punishment and even hits the mat.. But gets back up, while Prithvi continues to lands hard blows on him.In the 3rd round, Prithvi is completely out of gas, and that's when Ajju counter attacks and knocks Prithvi out.
