The film opens with Rohit Shivalkar ([[Sanjay Dutt]]) being shot at by some gangsters including his aide Pakya ([[Sharad Kapoor]]). As the doctors operate on him, the story begins from the past. | |||
Rohit is ostracized since his childhood because of the stigma attached to him due to his father Raghunath ([[Sanjay Dutt]]) who was a gangster, by all except Munna ([[Sachin Khedekar]]) who is an orphan. Rohit's grandfather Namdev ([[Shivaji Satam]]) is now a drunkard who later dies of [[liver failure]]. Rohit's mother, Sonu ([[Namrata Shirodkar]]) is forced to resort to prostitution again for money, seeking Chaudhary's ([[Viju Khote]]) help. As Rohit grows up, he earns a reputation in his college days for being a good boxer, until defeating Amar Rane ([[Inder Kumar]]) in an inter-college championship. Amar learns how Raghu [[Vaastav: The Reality#Plot|had murdered his father]] who was a police officer and presses Rohit on false charges of drug possession with his uncle's ([[Pramod Moutho]]) help, harassing him in custody despite Rohit's innocence. Rohit also learns the truth about his mother from Amar and he spots her with Chaudhary, which infuriates him, causing her to end her own life. Fed-up of Amar calling his mother a whore, Rohit drunkenly kills him brutally and gets imprisoned. His grandmother, Shanta ([[Reema Lagoo]]) reprimands him as she informs him about his mother's suicide when she visits him in the prison. | |||
Years later, Hasan Bhai ([[Shakti Kapoor]]) remembers the time Raghu had eliminated the Fracture gang, as he faces trouble with the gang's sons, and he bails Rohit out. Rohit, just like his father, makes his way up the ranks in the Mumbai underworld, earning the name "Boxer Bhai". He's also in a relationship with his father's friend Bhopu's ([[Atul Kale]]) daughter Gauri ([[Shilpa Shetty]]), who is enduring a physically abusive marriage. Rohit eventually snatches her out of this abusive relationship and remarries her. They eventually give birth to a daughter, Shanti. | |||
Meanwhile, Rohit is also approached by ruling party power broker Digamber Patil ([[Gulshan Grover]]) who offers him to fight for elections to get into politics as a corporator. Rohit reluctantly accepts and eventually wins the elections. DCP Kishore Kadam ([[Deepak Tijori]]), who is Rohit's guardian and Raghu's best friend warns Rohit about the new honest Chief minister and advises him to mend his ways before it is too late. | |||
One day, Gauri's friend Jyoti and her husband Shekhar, who is a police officer get transferred to Mumbai. Shekhar turns out to be the informer of Fracture Nagya ([[Anup Soni]]). Rohit eventually finds out after a few of his men get killed by the Fracture gang due to his info. Rohit kills Shekhar. Angered, Gauri moves to Munna's house for a while. Munna persuades Gauri to go back to Rohit with the help of another police officer who tells her that Shekhar was Nagya's informer. Gauri decides to return but Rohit kills Munna after being misled by Pakya that Munna and Gauri are having an affair. Gauri then deserts him, and Rohit is devastated by his mistakes. The plot returns to the start where Rohit miraculously survives the attack. | |||
It is then revealed that Patil had conspired with Nagya against Rohit and was double-crossed by Pakya due to Rohit's powerful political status and a personal score that had to be settled with the Fracture family. A vengeful Rohit recovers and sets out to eliminate Patil, Nagya and Pakya. Rohit kills Nagya and then kills Pakya at a guest house, enraged by Pakya's betrayal due to a hefty bribe given by Patil to him. Subsequently, Rohit bludgeons Patil in a cricket stadium and goes in hiding. | |||
Rohit is now the most wanted criminal in the city and the Chief Minister gives "shoot to kill" orders to Kishore. Rohit locates Gauri and asks for forgiveness from her and says that he was forced into a life of crime because of his father's past. He tells Gauri to take Shanti far away from the city, away from his dark past, as he commits suicide. Gauri finally decides to leave the city with Shanti. The film ends with a note on the irony of destiny as the credits roll. | |||
