In the 1960s and late 1970s, when Mumbai's textile mills are shutting down one after the other, many unemployed youths, including Arun Gawli, resort to matka-gambling on the insistence of his friends, Rama Naik and Babu Reshim, to earn a quick buck and form their own gang. However, soon, Gawli finds himself getting trapped in a vortex of crime when he is taken under the wing of Maqsood Bhai after committing a murder. Further, their clashes of ideologies and power games turn them against each other. Meanwhile, Gawli marries his sweetheart Zubeida Mujawar, who coaxes him to leave behind his criminal profession. He almost makes up his mind to turn clean. But, when Rama gets killed in a brutal police encounter, Gawli takes charge of their gang based in Dagdi. He suspects that Rama's killing was engineered by Maqsood and thus begins a gruesome gang war between them. Hot on the heels is a cop, Vijaykar Nitin, who wants to nab Gawli at any cost and bring him to justice. The rest of the plot revolves around how one of India's most feared gangsters landed in politics and his transition to becoming 'Daddy'.
