Synopsis

Two people miss the last local train at 1:40 am and it changes the course of their lives forever.

The protagonist Nilesh (Abhay Deol) works in a call center firm (for the New York Max company) cultivated by the IT industry. Night shifts, booze, after office parties seem to be the order of the day. Nilesh got late as his friends asked him to stay back after office for a few beers. Nilesh misses his last train from Kurla to Vikhroli. He decides to wait on the platform bench for the first morning train at 4:10 AM. He is rudely shoved off by a police constable who wants to keep the station clean from anti-social elements. Nilesh has Rs 70 in his pockets.

Nowhere to go, he strolls outside for an auto-rickshaw, where he bumps into a beautiful damsel in distress, Madhu (Neha Dhupia), also wanting a ride to Vikhroli. As it turns out, the rickshaws are on strike due to a bomb blast earlier in the day. Nilesh and Madhu are forced to walk to the next rickshaw stand. Nilesh is attracted to Madhu, who says that she got late while returning from her friend's engagement party. She thought the last local was at 1:45 AM.Nilesh stops by a local pub and is unable to resist his temptation to have a drink or two. He decides to spend time at the bar for the next 2 hours and catch the next train at 4:10 AM.

Meanwhile a man named Bajaj (Ashwin Mushran) has a meeting with an underworld Bhai (Sajan Bhai) at Kurla, but the location has been changed at the last minute to Vashi because Bajaj's wife has disclosed the meeting location to the police. It was already 2 AM and the next exchange is decided at the new location at Vashi Jetty at 3 AM.Money is to be exchanged for Bajaj's son who has been kidnapped. Bajaj reaches the location & meets Sajan Bhai. He exchanges the money & takes his son away.

In the bar, Nilesh orders a beer, which costs Rs 70. But then Madhu wants a cold drink, which costs Rs 50, so Nilesh cancels the beer by ordering an obscure brand that does not exist in India.Nilesh finds his old friend Patrick (Amit Mistry) who has gotten rich in the last 1 year by gambling & dealing in other illegal activities. Nilesh is a pro at cards himself & Patrick invites Nilesh to join the game on his money. Nilesh accepts. On the table is another Mumbai don called Ponappa (Vinay Apte) who is notorious for 56 murders & is ultra-religious. Nilesh immediately hits the winning straps & is up almost 50 Lakhs in just 2 hands. But he leaves to get Madhu. Taking Nilesh's turn, Patrick gambles away all the money Nilesh has won to underworld don Ponnappa.

Nilesh discovers Madhu being forced upon by a local goon in the bathroom. Nilesh attacks the goon, but the goon himself slips & breaks his neck on the washbasin. The goon dies. Nilesh is captured & finds that the goon was Ponappa's younger brother Nazir (Nawazuddin Siddiqui) & that Madhu is actually a prostitute who was servicing the goon, and her real name is Mala.

Ponappa decides to kill Nilesh, but Nilesh is saved at the last minute by a police raid. Ponappa is angry at his brother's death & insults inspector Malwankar (Ashok Samarth). Malwankar decides to seal the joint & arrest Ponappa. Ponappa is also betrayed by his 2nd in command, Bhujang (Kishore Kadam), that leads to his arrest. Bhujang bribes Malwankar to get rid of Nilesh & Madhu.

Malwankar takes both to a secluded spot outside Mumbai in Khandala to depose of them. Madhu says she has to urinate & escapes. Malwankar sends his men after her & using that Nilesh escapes as well. Malwankar shoots Patrick when he makes fun of Malwankar for losing both.

Malwankar recaptures them both. Now Madhu offers Malwankar more money than Bhujang to let her go. Malwankar agrees to take Madhu to her home in Dharavi for the money. There, Madhu's handler & pimp Habiba (Snehal Dabi) agrees to pay Rs 8 Lakh to Malwankar to release both Nilesh and Madhu. Madhu had pleaded with her pimp to save Nilesh as Nilesh fought to save her life.

Meanwhile, Sajan Bhai, who works for Ponappa, is returning with Bajaj's money to Ponappa's HQ. On the way he is intercepted by a man named Rafiq (Virendra Saxena) & his assistant Chakli (Sunita Rajwar), who shoots Sajan Bhai & his men & take the money bag.

Habiba takes everyone, including Malwankar, to the house of Mangesh Chilka's (Deepak Shirke) place for the money. Mangesh is Ponnappa's rival and for whom Rafiq works.Malwankar had encountered Mangesh's brother a month back, but still goes. By chance their jeep is right behind the car Rafiq's car. Rafiq thinks he is being followed by the police & shoots to get away. Malwankar & party reach Mangesh's place. Mangesh is a gay don & agrees to give 8 Lakhs to Habiba. In return, it is revealed that Habiba has sold Nilesh to Mangesh Chilki, who plans to have sex with him.

Rafiq turns out to be working for Mangesh & brings the money bag to his HQ while the pimp & Madhu are leaving the building. Madhu recognizes Rafiq & calls Bhujang & Ponappa. To save Nilesh, Madhu tells Ponappa that is is Mangesh Chilka who has taken the 2.5 Crores.

Meanwhile Mangesh has given instructions to his staff that they need to kill Malwankar & the cops after Madhu & the pimp leave the building. All the parties converge at the same time in a massive shootout which Nilesh survives. He walks out with the money bag that was given by Bajaj & it contained 2.5 Crores.
