The Ram Gopal Varma film portrays the transformation of a young and inexperienced Satya (JD Chakravarthy) who is drawn into Mumbai’s unforgiving underworld following an unexpected encounter in prison. Immersed in this world, he forges a bond with the notorious gangster Bhiku Mhatre (Manoj Bajpayee).

As Satya delves deeper into this realm of violence and loyalty, he must conceal his shadowy existence from a singer he admires.
