Satara-based petty road-works contractor, Sachin Tichkule (Akshay Kumar), faces challenges when the Satara Municipal Corporation puts a hold on his payment. He decides to sue them. His family consists of father Ramakanth (Khulbhushan Kharbanda), 1 brother (Harish), 3 sisters (Anjali is unmarried) & 2 brother in laws (Suhas & Trigun). Mum Sheetal (aruna Irani) is the glue keeping the family together. The brothers in law want to sell the family palace but the family will states that it can be done only by agreement of all brothers & sisters. Rangeela is a worker on Sachin’s construction site & Sachin keeps telling him to use less material. Sachin has taken money from creditors like Karodimal (Asrani) who keep hounding Sachin for their dues. A recently-collapsed bridge results in 65 deaths.The bridge was constructed by Suhas, Trigun & Harish. They had also cheated by putting less cement & iron in the columns. They are guided by the local politician Rana, to ask the family driver Vishwas Rao (Tinnu Anand) to take the blame by saying that he planted a bomb under the bridge, in exchange for money & a speedy release for courts. Now once Vishwas admits his guilt, the trio is afraid that he might say the truth someday & so they get him killed & prove it as a suicide. One man Azad who lost his wife & daughter in the accident, sees the conspiracy to cover the truth. If matters were not bad enough, the new Municipal Commissioner is none other than Sachin’s estranged girlfriend/ex-collegian, Gehna Ganpule (Trisha Krishna). Sachin had abused and assaulted her in Mumbai a few years ago, and she is now determined to blacklist him at any and all costs. Basically Sachin was a Gandhiwaadi leader in college & was leading a strike to protest management decision to hire teachers for donation & then fire them shortly afterwards. He insisted that no one should appear for exams, but his girlfriend Gehna defies him & appears in the exam hall. She doesn’t believe in Sachin’s “Aadarsh” & Sachin hits her. Rangeela was given permission to cook at Gehna’s house as the site is nearby, & he peeks at Gehna taking a bath, Her brother sees this & kicks Rangeela out. Sachin doesn’t know the whole story & only sees Rangeela’s wounds & threatens Gehna’s brother. He gets the police & gets Sachin arrested for Molestation & assault charges. Rana sees Anjali at a house party & has his eyes on her, He tries to pick her up from a bus station, but she refuses. One of Sachin’s men watches this & informs him. Sachin beats the hell out of Rana in private. Sachin wins the case against the municipality & the court hands over a road roller to him in lieu of payments due. Gehna is disgusted & appeals to the sense of nationalism in Sachin, but he is immune. The road roller is shit & sucks more money to fix, & even then doesn’t work & has to be towed away by an elephant. The rope breaks & the roller ends up damaging Gehna’s house. Again Gehna’s brother takes police & arrives at Sachin’s doorstep. Sachin runs away & Ramakanth has to go to the police station & pay for damages caused. As the family is increasing aghast at Sachin, Trigun proposes to marry Anjali to Rana. When Sachin opposes, Ramakanth shuts him up by saying that he doesn’t have any money & Trigun & Suhas have lots, so they will decide where Anjali will get married. If Sachin has to stop the wedding, he will need to come up with the money to marry her off on his own. Sachin cant come up with the money & Anjali is married off to Rana. Gehna inspects the road being constructed by Sachin & stops his works due the shoddy nature of the output. Sachin frames Gehna in a bribery case & she is arrested, where she tries to commit suicide. Sachin apologizes to Gehna. Anjali is killed in a kitchen accident when the gas cylinder explodes. The Azad approaches Gehna for help to expose the nexus of Rana, Harish, Suhas & Trigun. Gehna involves Sachin & goes to the media with proof. Rana gets Gehna transferred but Azad is adamant to appear in court with proof at the hearing. Rana gets Azad brutally murdered, but before dying Azad tells the location of the proof to Sachin. Before dying he also reveals that he stole the evidence from Rana’s home where he saw Anjali being forced upon by Rana’s political buddies & was burnt alive when she tried to escape. But Rana has already taken the proof. Sachin tricks Rana into thinking that the proof has been stolen & attacks him when he tries to retrieve it. Rana is killed in an accident in the ensuing fight. Harish, Suhas & Trigun are jailed. Ramakanth forgives Sachin.
