Plot

Viren Sahai (Amitabh Bachchan), an underworld don based in Bangkok, has a spoiled son named Abhir (Sushant Singh) in India. When Viren's rival Khan (Kader Khan) attacks Abhir, Viren seeks revenge. He receives foolproof information that Khan and his nephew will be present at a local cinema theatre on a particular date and he sets off to India to kill both of them.

The story then moves in the present onto the life of a simple cook, Shekhar Bhatia (Akshay Kumar) who is married to Dr. Kavita (Bhumika Chawla). Shekhar lives with his parents, wife, and his younger brother Aryan (Aryeman Ramsay). Aryan runs away one day from home, and Shekhar searches the whole city to find him. During his search, he witnesses Viren attacking the cinema theatre in which Khan is hidden, causing a stampede and decides to help the innocent people in the cinema. Whilst helping the innocent, Shekhar finds Khan's nephew fatally wounded and tries to rescue him. Viren witnesses this and mistakenly shoots Shekhar instead of Khan's nephew, thinking Shekhar to be Khan's man. Soon enough, Viren brutally murders Khan's nephew and flees the theatre. The wounded Shekhar dies. Aryan returns home and learns that Shekhar was murdered when he was set out to search for him.

An enraged and shocked Aryan and his group of friends form a gang and kidnap Viren's entire family including Abhir, with an idea of bringing Viren to them and seeking justice. Viren leaves no stone unturned to find out who dared do this. Each time he zeroes in on the gang, they manage to escape with the hostages. However, Abhir escapes and reaches his father. Aryan tries not to harm any of Viren's family members as he knows how precious a family is, though Viren's wife suddenly dies when Abhir comes back to recover his family by himself with his gang, and accidentally shoots her while targeting Aryan. Viren believes Aryan is responsible for this. Aryan calls Viren to meet him at the same place where Viren killed Shekhar, along with the police. But the police decide to help Viren, thus Aryan's plan fails. Aryan and his friends are taken into custody.

After constant pleading by his daughter, a changed Viren decides to end it all and surrenders to the police. After cremating his wife, he also tells them to release Aryan and his friends, but the latter are so enraged that they set out to kill Viren. Viren in the meantime is in for the shock of his life when corrupt cops come out with the intention of killing him in an encounter at the behest of his own son Abhir, who apparently has now teamed up with Khan. An intense gun battle ensues between Viren, Aryan, and the gangsters, where Viren kills the corrupt cops, Khan, Syed, and Babubhai. Abhir tries to shoot his father but Viren ends up killing Abhir. Viren demands that Aryan kill him now, but Aryan tells him that Viren's punishment is not death, rather it is life itself, as Viren has nothing left to live for. He simply throws his gun and walks away, with a now apparently insane Viren looking on and muttering. The film ends on a note of karma, and Aryan with his friends is now managing Shekhar's canteen.
