Sachin Tichkule faces a payment hold on his Satara road-works contract by the Satara Municipal Corporation. Frustrated by the delay, he decides to sue the municipality to recover what is owed. The dispute sets the tone for his later confrontations with city authorities.

Financial strain grips Sachin's large family as creditors circle. The brothers-in-law push to sell the family palace, but the siblings insist that any sale requires the consent of all brothers and sisters. The looming split heightens tensions at home.

A recently collapsed bridge kills 65 people after being built with reduced cement and iron by Suhas, Trigun, and Harish. They are coached by politician Rana to pin the blame on Vishwas Rao, who later confesses to planting a bomb. To cover up the truth, they plot to kill Vishwas and stage his suicide, while Azad glimpses the conspiracy.

Gehna Ganpule, Sachin's estranged girlfriend, becomes the municipal commissioner and vows to blacklist him. Her appointment places her directly against Sachin's interests. This introduces a dangerous political and personal clash.

The film hints at Sachin's Gandhiwadi college days, where he led protests and abused Gehna. She defies his authoritarian stance during exams, and he responds with aggression. The past enmity deepens the antagonistic dynamic between them.

Rangeela is permitted to work at Gehna's house near the site, but he glimpses Gehna bathing and is kicked out by her brother. Sachin, unaware of the full incident, sees Rangeela's wounds and threatens Gehna's brother. The fallout contributes to mounting legal trouble for Gehna as charges of molestation and assault loom.

Rana eyes Anjali at a house party and later attempts to woo her at the bus station, but she refuses. One of Sachin's men informs him, and Sachin beats Rana in private, asserting his control over rivals. The clash underscores the power struggles within the family and local politics.

Sachin wins the case against the municipality, and the court hands over a road roller as payment. Gehna challenges his stance with nationalist rhetoric, but Sachin remains obdurate. The roller proves faulty and costly to fix, and it plays a role in damaging Gehna's home.

The defective road roller damages Gehna's house when the rope breaks, forcing Ramakanth to pay for the damages. Trigun proposes Anjali's marriage to Rana to consolidate power, and Ramakanth concedes that money will decide the match. Anjali’s future becomes a pressure point for the family.

Gehna is framed in a bribery case and arrested, where she attempts to commit suicide. Sachin later offers an apology for his actions. The scandal exposes corruption at multiple levels and furthers the rift between them.

Anjali dies in a kitchen gas cylinder explosion, intensifying the drive to expose Rana's nexus with Harish, Suhas, and Trigun. Azad approaches Gehna to help reveal the conspiracy, and Gehna involves Sachin and the media in the effort.

Azad is murdered by Rana while attempting to reveal the proof, but before dying he tells Sachin where the evidence is. Sachin tricks Rana into thinking the proof has been stolen and confronts him, leading to Rana's death in an ensuing fight. Harish, Suhas, and Trigun are jailed.

Ramakanth forgives Sachin, signaling a fragile family reconciliation after a long struggle with corruption and violence. The ending resolves many tensions, though the scars of the conflict linger.
