Sakharam Patil (Rahul's father), a farmer, in Mulshi tehsil is forced to sell his land. Rahul feels that his family have lost their dignity because of this. Sakharam then works as a watchman at a builder's bungalow but gets fired and insulted after accidentally damaging his car. Along with Rahul's friend Ganya, the family moves to Pune to work as laborers. Rahul refuses to work because he blames his father for the family's troubles. Later, Rahul falls in love with Dipali, the daughter of the head laborer. One morning Rahul angrily beats up and kills a contractor who abused his father, attracting the attention of local gangster Nanya Bhai in jail who invites Rahul to work for him. Rahul and Ganya both start to work for Bhai. Rahul then learns that it was Nanya Bhai who forced Rahul's father to lose his land. In revenge, Rahul kills him and takes control of the gang. The murder of Nanya Bhai starts a war among the gang members.
Rahul tries to take control over all the lands and businesses built on the lands of Mulshi by corporates, making other gangs angry. Newly employed Inspector Vitthal Kadu (Upendra Limaye) decides to let the gangs kill each other in order to reduce crime. Rahul befriends a small boy and gives him a gun to use in emergencies. Rahul then tries to marry Dipali, but she refuses because he is a gangster. When reunited with his family, he learns that other family members have been earning an honest living doing domestic chores while he enjoyed the profits of crime. When Rahul tells Sakharam to laugh once more, his father responds that Rahul's job has taken his joy away. Eventually, the rival gangs unite to defeat Rahul. Rahul's gang grows weak, and many of his gang members get killed, including Ganya.
The film shifts to the present day where he must attempt to escape from rival gangs. When he seeks help from the boy he befriended, the boy abruptly shoots him upon arriving. As Rahul dies, he learns that the boy's family lost their land to Rahul's gang and that the boy had planned his murder all along. Inspector Kadu, who is shocked by Rahulya's death is asked by his subordinate where he belongs from, to which Kadu replies that he is from Mulshi and he is not from the area of gangsters. Upon hearing the news of Rahul's death, his father finally laughs out, finally getting the joy of knowing that his son is now no longer a gangster and slaps himself.
