Three amateur thieves hatch a plan to kidnap the son of a wealthy man from a school. They test the setup with a trial run to gauge responses and timing. The exercise hints at both opportunity and risk in their plan.

On the eve of the kidnapping, Raju, the crane operator crucial to the operation, is suddenly hospitalized. The crew loses their key man and scrambles to improvise. Tension climbs as the schedule teeters on collapse.

Avinasi, a deaf but remarkably calm stuntman renowned for fearless bike acts, is recruited to take over the risky operation. He brings a different mindset and a steady nerve to an otherwise turbulent plan. His entry shifts the balance of power within the gang.

The other two gang members are sidelined through a series of mishaps and injuries. Avinasi ends up shouldering most of the operation, proving his competence under pressure. The group dynamics tilt decisively in his favor.

During the operation, Avinasi mistakenly abducts Daddu, the illegitimate son of Ahalya and Rao. The misstep triggers chaos and raises the stakes for everyone involved. The mistake also complicates future negotiations.

Despite the mix-up, Avinasi luckily secures a substantial ransom from Chettiar. The kidnapping turns unexpectedly lucrative, emboldening the criminals. The operation continues with higher financial stakes.

Chidambaram/Digambar and Johnson clash over how to handle Ahalya's child. They clash with Avinasi over strategy and loyalty. The partners' alliance begins to splinter under pressure.

Avinasi eventually returns the child to Ahalya, delivering him safely and avoiding further harm. The act earns a wary trust and alters the group's dynamics. The mother’s predicament deepens as she weighs loyalties.

Conversations between Ahalya and Rao are overheard, laying bare emotional and financial stakes. Rao wants to close the ransom deal and sever ties, while Ahalya pleads for a lifeline to keep her family intact. The political and personal pressures mount.

The child bonds with Avinasi, seeing him as a protector and figure of safety. This connection makes Avinasi rethink his life path. He begins to imagine a future beyond crime.

Rao formally designates Chettiar to handle the ransom, shifting responsibility away from the original trio. The change fuels a fresh round of miscommunications and mistrust. The operation edges toward a fragile reckoning.

Old resentments are resolved and new alliances form as the players converge toward the endgame. Avinasi and Ahalya choose to stay together and to pursue a life and business partnership. They launch Mumbai Express, a mega-bar that anchors their future and signals a hopeful ending.
