The story focuses on the struggles of an educated, unemployed young man fighting against systemic corruption and injustice. The plot centres on Arjun Malvankar, a kind-hearted but volatile youth from a lower-middle-class family in Bombay. Frustrated by his unemployment and the widespread corruption he sees, Arjun's life changes when he stands up to local thugs and beats them up for extorting money.
This act of defiance puts him on a collision course with the city's criminal elements and their powerful and corrupt political patron, MLA Dindayal Trivedi. Arjun is initially arrested, but an honest police officer, Inspector Ravi Rane, recognizes that Arjun is essentially fighting on the side of justice. Arjun is approached by Geeta Sahni, a young primary school music teacher, who asks him for a favour, which he obliges. After a few subsequent meetings, they both fall in love.
After a retaliatory attack by the goons results in the public murder of one of Arjun's close friends, and no one comes forward to testify out of fear, Arjun is pushed to his limits. While Geeta offers him unwavering love and support, Arjun is shunned by his family who fear for their safety. Soon, he is approached by a rival politician, Shivkumar Chowgule.
Chowgule, appearing to be an upright and honest person, takes Arjun under his wing. He uses Arjun's strength and anti-corruption zeal to systematically dismantle Trivedi's illegal businesses and collect evidence against him, all under the guise of cleaning up the city. Arjun, believing he is working for a noble cause, is very successful.
The story takes a sharp turn when Arjun discovers that Chowgule is just as corrupt as Trivedi. Chowgule was merely using Arjun as a pawn to eliminate his rival and gather blackmail material for his own selfish gains. Disillusioned and betrayed, Arjun is thrown out and his resources are confiscated.
Now fully aware that both politicians are two sides of the same corrupt coin, a frustrated and enraged Arjun decides to take matters into his own hands. In a furious single-handed confrontation, Arjun barges into a gathering, beating up both Chowgule and Trivedi to seize the vital files that contain proof of their illegal activities. A climactic chase ensues, with Arjun pursued and wounded by Chowgule's goons. Despite his injuries, Arjun manages to escape and delivers the incriminating documents to the one honest man he trusts, Inspector Ravi Rane. The evidence leads to the arrest of both Chowgule and Trivedi, finally securing a defiant victory against corruption. The story concludes with a battered but victorious Arjun in the hospital, receiving a thumbs-up from Inspector Rane, signifying that the fight for justice, though costly, has been won.
