Plot Summary

Raghu (Sidharth Malhotra) is a loyal goon to the local thug Narayan Anna (Nassar) who controls the water mafia in Mumbai. Gaitonde is a rival water supplier to Mumbai and Anna deploys Raghu to Gaitonde's son in retaliation for encroachment on his territory. Anna considers Raghu as his own son. Anna had rescued Raghu from a sewer and had given him a new life. As such, Raghu has never dis-respected Anna's command.His father's dependence on Raghu doesn't sit well with Vishnu (Riteish Deshmukh), whose complexes arise from more than just his short stature, as he is only three feet tall.Raghu's friends are Gopi (Uday Nene) & Shafi (Godaan Kumar). Due to Anna's power even ACP Yadav (Ravi Kishan) is unable to arrest him as Anna controls the water supply to the entire Mumbai town. Anna threatens to stop the water supply to the whole city if he is arrested. Ravi wants Raghu to testify against Anna, but he refuses.Aarzoo (Rakul Preet Singh) is a bar dancer that Raghu and his friends visit. Aarzoo has a crush on Raghu. Payal (Alina Kazi) is Aarzoo's sister and is a school going girl. When Raghu falls for Zoya (Tara Sutaria), a mute musically inclined Kashmiri girl who teaches children music, Vishnu jumps at the opportunity to use it to discredit his father's most favorite goon. Zoya is forming a group of singers to participate in the Kashmir music festival and enrolls Payal as one of her students. Raghu melts in front of the kind heart of Zoya. Zoya makes him realize that music is all around him, and for a moment he forgets his life of violence and strife. Raghu and Zoya communicate via sign language.Gaitonde attacks Raghu while he was with Zoya, and in the shootout, Payal is hit by a bullet. Raghu shoots Gaitonde in the shoulder and forces him to retreat. Ravi realizes that Zoya can change Raghu as this was the first time that Raghu saved somebody in his life. Aarzoo is devastated to see Zoya with Raghu.Vishnu goes to harass Zoya' and her students. Vishnu threatens to put Payal on auction at the brothel. Raghu stands up to Vishnu & beats his goons. Raghu's friend Mazhar (Shaad Randhawa) beats Vishnu up and kicks him, when Vishnu raises a gun to shoot Raghu. This creates a rift between friends and Shafi leaves the group after having a fight with Raghu over Zoya.Vishnu kidnaps Gaitonde (Anant Jog) (one of his father's enemies) and tells a kid Zoya had selected for her music festival to shoot him. Eventually, Vishnu shoots Gaitonde and his family dead. Zoya sees this and flees but Vishnu is already alerted of her presence. Vishnu tells his father that there was an eyewitness so Anna orders Raghu to kill Zoya, not knowing that Raghu loves her. Meanwhile, Zoya messages Ravi and asks him to come and save her from Vishnu. Raghu finds Zoya and tries to run away from Vishnu and his father, but Vishnu catches them and tells Raghu, that he, Zoya, all the kids (including Payal) will be killed. Anna intervenes and tells Raghu he and the kids will be safe if he kills only Zoya, as she is the eyewitness to Gaitonde's murder. Zoya tells Raghu to kill her so that he and the kids remain safe. Raghu shoots, and Zoya dies in his arms. Anna tells Vishnu that he can attack Raghu, only when he tries to harm him, and not before.Ravi arrests a traumatized Raghu for Zoya's murder. In jail, Raghu becomes depressed and broken. Vishnu tries to get Raghu killed in jail, knowing if he is released, he will take revenge. However, Raghu beats up the goons Vishnu hired. Vishnu then cuts off Raghu's friend Mazhar's (Shaad Randhawa) leg because Mazhar had kicked him previously.6 months later Anna tells Vishnu that Raghu will be sentenced to life. Vishnu helps Raghu get out by bribing the proofs because he wants to kill Raghu with his own hands. Before Raghu is released from prison Anna visits him in jail and tells him not to harm Vishnu till Anna is alive.When Raghu is released, Vishnu sees that Raghu is not the same after Zoya's death. Anna tells him that Raghu died the day he killed Zoya. Vishnu tries various ways to bring Raghu back to his old ways but fails (despite every possible provocation Raghu will not attack Vishnu & Anna forbids Vishnu to kill Raghu till he attacks). Vishnu gives the revolver Raghu used to kill Zoya in his hands, he auctions off one of Zoya's favorite students Payal (Alina Kazi) at the brothel, he makes Raghu sell Zoya's mouth-organ, all to no avail. Raghu simply walks away from it all. Vishnu's father catches him and warns him against this, but Vishnu angrily kills his father and sends goons to kill Raghu. Raghu finds out that Anna is dead & thus now Raghu is free from his promise. However, Raghu kills them all and buries them. He visits Zoya's grave and vows revenge on Vishnu; he is joined by his friends in this mission.On the day of Dussehra, when Vishnu comes to burn Ravana's idol, Raghu arrives and starts beating all the goons. Vishnu pierces an arrow into Raghu's heart, but Raghu burns him. While dying, Raghu sees Zoya's soul and dies peacefully, surrounded by friends and family. The police arrive and the inspector tells the ACP that Raghu died. The ACP replies that Raghu returned to his life, which was with Zoya.
