Plot

[edit]

Akelinder, or Bhangari Dada, has a shop at Chor bazaar, which he runs illegally. He lives with his wife and only daughter, Kiran. Bhangari wants his daughter to be married to a gangster, so he begins his search. He finds Shakti Dada and wants him to be married to Kiran, but Kiran already loves Raj, a wealthy man who has no links to crime. But in order to satisfy her dad, she persuades Raj to pose as a gangster for the time being. For this, they search for a trainer called Subramaniam, who teaches Raj to act as a gangster. Finally, Raj becomes successful in posing as a gangster, but Bhangari's dad somehow appears and doesn't want Kiran to marry a gangster. Will Raj be able to clean up his image?
