== Plot ==
In the 1960s and late 1970s, when Mumbai's textile mills were shutting down one after the other, many unemployed youths, including [[Arun Gawli]] ([[Arjun Rampal]]) resort to matka-gambling on the insistence of his friends, Rama Naik ([[Rajesh Shringarpure]]) and Babu Reshim ([[Anand Ingale]]), to earn some quick buck and form their own gang. However, soon, Gawli finds himself getting trapped in a vortex of crime when he is taken under the wings of Maqsood Bhai ([[Farhan Akhtar]], loosely modelled on Dawood Ibrahim) after committing a murder. Further, their clashes of ideologies and power games turn them against each other. Meanwhile, Gawli marries his sweetheart Zubeida Mujawar ([[Aishwarya Rajesh]]), who coaxes him to leave behind his murky profession. He almost makes up his mind to turn clean. But, when Rama gets killed in a brutal police encounter, Gawli takes in charge of their gang based in Dagdi. He suspects that Rama's killing was engineered by Maqsood and thus begins a gruesome gang war between them. Hot on the heels is a cop, Vijaykar Nitin, who wants to nab Gawli at any cost and take him to the task. The rest of the plot revolves around how one of India's most feared gangsters landed up in politics and his transition to becoming 'Daddy'.
