PLOT

The story of the movie revolves around a simple bank accountant Dinkar Bhosale (Sachin Khedekar), who is is a common Marathi man living in Mumbai in a rather uncommenly big ancestral bungalow. He is a simple man with simple needs but his life is miserable. His salary is meager and is humiliated everywhere. His daughter, Shashikala (Priya Bapat) though being talented is rejected in an audition because of her surname ‘Bhosale’ which the production manager considers ‘downmarket’. His son Rahul (Abhijeet Kelkar) wants to pursue engineering from a reputed college but the college asks for a huge ‘donation’ inspite that the college is run by Nandkumar (Ganesh Yadav), who’s a childhood friend of Dinkar. Then there’s a builder, Gosaliya, who is keen to demolish Dinkar’s ancestral property and build a skyscraper in its place. In return, he’s willing to give Dinkar a flat in far away suburb of badlapur area and a Santro. Dinkar rejects this offer and his wife Sumitra (Suchitra Bandekar) ridicules him for being impractical. Gosaliya on the other hand is desperate for Dinkar’s property. He starts harassing the Bhosale family in various ways. Frustrated by all this, Dinkar curses himself for being born as a Marathi. He says that his ancestors must have committed a heinous sin because of which he’s born a Marathi. This outburst of Dinkar arouses the spirit of Shivaji Maharaj (Mahesh Manjrekar) who comes face to face to meet Dinkar. He scolds him for his shallow thinking and asks him “Did I fight and establish Swaraj to hear something like this from my people?” He teaches him a lesson and Dinkar realizes that he was indeed wrong. From the next day, Dinkar changes his mindset and decides to fight Gosaliya, goons, corrupt officials, cops and all those who obstruct his path. While fighting with the corrupt officials and goons he makes them understand their mistakes and makes them join his team against the evil guys. Finally by following teachings of Shivaji, he emerges victorious. At the end he decides to join politics to create awareness and responsibility amongst all.
