slum in Mumbai]] When Mumbai Police Commissioner Ajay Bhardwaj has declared the end of the mafia in the city, a brutal man named Vijay Surya arrives with the intention of conquering Mumbai. Staying at Dharavi with his friend, Surya recruits a group of gangsters and wins the support of a local politician named Lalu after getting a witness killed in jail by his henchman Shakeel. Surya further helps the Dharavi locals clear their debts by making his henchmen rob the original copies of the loan documents kept at the local branch of Bank of Maharashtra and destroy the bank records. While the locals hail him as their savior, Surya becomes feared for extortion.
In order to safeguard himself from Ajay, Surya traps his daughter Chitra Bhardwaj and pretends to fall for her. At the same time, Lalu requests Surya to make him the next mayor of Mumbai by threatening his opponent Arun Gokhale, who is endorsed by central minister and PM aspirant Ghanapuleti Jaidev. After being narrowly killed by Surya's men, Gokhale seeks Jaidev's help, and he sends his assassins; Surya, having been tipped by his right-hand Nazir, tricks the assassins into believing that he is a guide sent to help them where he plants bombs in their food that explodes, resulting in a shootout. While escaping, Surya sees Chitra, who has now learned of his true nature. When arrested, Surya accepts that he trapped her, but now he truly loves her. However, Ajay is forced to free Surya after his henchmen kidnap Chitra. Surya promises to give up crime in order to live with Chitra, but his proposal is turned down. So, he decides to legalize the mafia which cannot be touched by the police.
Surya started a company named Surya Exports & Imports as a front for his vigilante acts. In order to set up branch offices all over the country, Surya recruits local gangsters for staff and begins to forcibly extract a 2% tax on every contract made in the respective areas. Eventually, Surya becomes a billionaire, and during the inauguration of his "Business Bank", reveals his thirst for power to Ajay, further citing the decline in crime rate after recruiting the gangsters, and expressing his desire to help the needy. Surya further helps Lalu become the mayor of Mumbai by orchestrating fake IT raids on the properties of Jaidev and his accomplices, resulting in Gokhale's defeat; Surya later kidnaps Gokhale and returns him to Ajay, thereby exposing Jaidev's scams. Surya meets LoP Guru Govind Patel through Lalu and offers him 35,000 crore for election campaigning along with the promise to make him the next PM of India.
Learning that Jaidev is planning to get Gokhale, Chitra and Ajay killed, Surya saves Chitra but fails to save Ajay, who tells him to kill Jaidev in his final moments, and Gokhale, who is poisoned to death. Surya then reveals to Chitra that he was an American-born Indian whose philanthropist parents were cheated and killed by Jaidev. As a child, Surya tried to enlist the help of the police but found none, and he ended up stabbing and shooting Jaidev publicly; at jail, he decided to reform the corrupt system and control India. At the election, Surya spends crores of rupees per constituency in the nation, with Lalu installing candidates at his behest; Surya also exposes Jaidev's illegal affair, making him unable to contest in the elections.
Enraged, Jaidev kidnaps Chitra and Surya arrives to rescue her. Jaidev thrashes him and reveals that he gained public sympathy due to Surya's attack as a child and managed to become an MP. However, Surya gets into a fight with Jaidev's henchmen and leaves them all dead, except one who holds Chitra at knifepoint. Jaidev agrees to free Chitra if Surya dies. Surya shoots himself before shooting both Jaidev and the henchman to death. Chitra accepts her love for Surya, and Guru Govind Patel wins the elections. While recovering in the hospital, Surya delivers a message to the public, telling them not to trust anyone and that God has thrown them into a warzone, and tells the people to pursue anything according to their interest.
