When Nandini is killed, Avi and two male friends—Golu and Hari—decide to avenge her death by killing Bhullar. They confront Bhullar's boss, Vaman Rao, and leave it to him to decide their fate. Impressed by their audacity, Vaman Rao recruits them into his gang. Soon, they grow very close to Vaman and become his most loyal lieutenants. Then, a corrupt police inspector named Rokde discovers that Golu is having an affair with his wife, Sangeeta, and decides to teach him a lesson.
