 A train pulls into C.S.T. station and two young men
step off. It’s their very first visit to Mumbai city.
Only they are not here to visit. They have arrived
with dreams of buying Mumbai out.
Poor deluded fools, you might think… but that’s only
till the first time you run into them. After that,
it’ll be clear enough who’s deluded and who has just
been made the fool.
For this is a pair of street toughs par excellence…
Jai, the younger of the two looks up to Veeru for
guidance. Veeru in turn looks out for him. The pair’s
loyalty to one another is absolute.
Virendra Chavan (Ajay Devgan) and Jai Ranade (Prashant
Raj) grew up in Latur together, where they came to be
known to their town folk as Veeru & Jai. From their
early days, the young men admired success and strength
and sought in every which way to emulate it.
Veeru went to work as a bodyguard for Sharad Patil,
the local political heavyweight. But, when Patil went
to jail in a scam, he lost his job. It was then that
idea of coming to Mumbai took his fancy. As expected,
his prodigy Jai tagged along.
So Mumbai it was…
 Within a week of their arrival on the recommendation
of an old acquaintance of theirs called Soorma (Rajpal
Yadav) who runs a dance bar, they found work with
Shambhul Seth, a criminal with heavy underworld
connections and also high on the police scanner.
In his pursuit of Shambhul, the Inspector Ranveer (Mohanlal)
came into contact with Veeru and Jai. On meeting them,
he realized that these were no hardened criminals.
Small time hoodlums, perhaps, but deep inside their
values were still intact. He chose to appeal to the
honesty in them.
He exposed them to Shambhul’s criminal past. Veeru and
Jai were surprised by this. They agreed to help in
whatever way they could. The inspector in the process
of trying to get Shambhul got into a deadly trap and
both Veeru and Jai in a show of extraordinary courage
and strength managed to rescue him and managed to
finish off Shambhul seth. But in the bargain, Veeru
and Jai had to be arrested as well for associating
with a criminal and for a while went to jail.
Much later, when the inspector needed help in his hunt
for Gabbar Singh (Amitabh Bachchan), his brief
impression of these two young men returned to him.
Since he could not expect the police to help in a
quest for personal revenge, and his principles would
not allow him to turn to the underworld for help, he
decided to enlist the help of Veeru and Jai.
