Tilak (Tusshar Kapoor) is a mercurial bootlegger with a conscience. He spends most of his time with his fellow cohorts, Mandook and Ramesh, plotting heists and planning scams. Tilak is the brains of the operation, and his friends depend on his leadership and guidance. Lately, things have been a little rough for Talik and his lackeys, as the newlywed Tilak is beginning to spend more time with his wife. After a heist goes terribly wrong, and the gang accidently detonates a bomb on a local train, Tilak wants even less to do with his thieving ways. Tilak is about to give up his life of crime, but not before his friends wrangle him into one last score.

Sawan (Sundeep Kishan) is a desperate young man.

Sawan will go to extreme lengths to secure a future with his true love, but the cost of happiness might just be too great.
