Viki is a young man with big dreams, raised amid crowded, rough neighborhoods of Mumbai. He learns to navigate the city's harsh edges while chasing a name and a place in the world. The lure of the underworld begins to shape his path.

Viki is pulled into a local gang led by Tony, where he learns the rules of petty crime and street loyalty. He experiences the thrill of belonging, even as the costs of that life loom on the horizon. This marks the start of his ascent through the city’s shadows.

Craving something bigger than small-time crime, Viki longs for danger, trust, and recognition that go beyond Tony's circle. He seeks a mentor who can teach him the true calculus of power in Mumbai's streets. The hunger drives him toward a legend at the heart of the underworld.

Viki meets Lakwa, a legendary and quietly menacing figure whose cool violence defines Mumbai's underworld. Lakwa embodies the unwritten rules that govern this brutal city. Viki is drawn to his authority while wary of the price such power demands.

Lakwa takes Viki under his wing, becoming a mentor who teaches practical lessons about power, loyalty, and ruthlessness. He insists that trust is a luxury and betrayal a constant shadow. Under Lakwa's guidance, Viki learns to see the city through a sharper, more dangerous lens.

The mentorship crystallizes a philosophy that balances restraint with decisive action. Viki learns to measure risks and strike at the right moment, rather than on impulse. The idea that loyalty outlasts the thrill begins to shape his approach to power.

The mentor-protégé bond grows into a father‑son‑like relationship, softening the harsh world around them. Viki begins to trust Lakwa even as street violence remains constant. The bond deepens Viki's transformation into a formidable player, while complicating loyalties.

With Lakwa's guidance, Viki rises through the city's shadows, moving from hopeful recruit to influential figure in the underworld. He navigates rivalries and alliances, learning the power networks that govern the streets. The ascent comes at the cost of personal relationships and innocence.

Every ascent carries a price that reverberates through their bond and the world around them. Betrayals and power struggles tighten their grip, testing both mentor and protégé. The city’s watchful eyes amplify every move they make.

Lakwa's melancholy history and hard choices loom over every command he gives. Viki begins to understand how the mentor's past informs present decisions. This awareness colors their relationship and the risks they take together.

As rivalries escalate, betrayals threaten to fracture their fragile alliance. The struggle for control pits loyalty against survival, threatening both men and the people around them. The fallout forces them to confront what their bond can endure.

A climactic twist reframes the mentor-protégé relationship, forcing them to question what this life truly costs. The revelation refracts power, trust, and loyalty through a harsher light, challenging everything they believe. It asks hard questions about sacrifice and whether leadership justifies the price.

The film closes with a sobering reflection on ambition and the cyclical violence of Mumbai's underworld. The price paid by those who lead and follow remains the lasting question. Lakwa's influence and Viki's choices leave a trace on the city they sought to master.
