Plot edit
Vishal, Mohan, and Tushar fall victim to a fraudulent scheme promising to double their money. When their attempts to seek help from the authorities fail, Vishal takes matters into his own hands by raiding the scheme operator Bhalya's hideout. He manages to escape with the money by orchestrating a fake death for Mohan and Tushar. However, Bhalya discovers that Tushar is alive and takes him to his boss, Sampatrao Mahabal.
Vishal and Mohan eventually find themselves at Sampatrao's location, where a chilling ultimatum awaits. Sampatrao demands that Vishal must either genuinely eliminate Mohan and Tushar or return the embezzled money. In an attempt to evade this dire situation, Mohan devises a ruse proposing a fictitious scheme to repay Sampatrao ₹50 Crore within 30 days. Agreeing to this proposal, Sampatrao keeps Tushar in captivity until the promised sum is returned. To ensure compliance, Sampatrao dispatches his brother Rajan to accompany Vishal and Mohan, serving as a watchful eye on their every move.
