They later create a YouTube channel called Insaaf TV, an online show focused on justice, exposing common wrongdoings, and highlighting the rampant corruption in their city.
However, as time passes, Siku and Rajat get jobs in the corporate sector after graduating, and their interest in Insaaf TV gradually fades.
Bhavesh leaks this information on his channel, which leads to Patil, the leader of the water crime syndicate responsible for the act, ordering a manhunt to uncover the true identity of the masked man behind Insaaf TV.
An enraged Bhavesh declares that all government officials and politicians are corrupt and should be eradicated to cleanse society, with Siku recording the exchange on his phone.
Blaming himself for Bhavesh's death, Siku tricks the police into believing he has left for the U.S. and takes refuge in an abandoned hotel that previously served as a safe house for their gang.
Siku adopts a new vigilante costume, buys a motorcycle, customizes it with nitro cylinders, and interrogates government officer Subhash Mhatre, who reveals that Bhavesh was killed by Patil as he was about to uncover his illegal water supply activities.
After a long motorcycle chase, Siku escapes, enraging Patil, who kills a constable and forces the police to frame Bhavesh for the murder.
Patil and Rana instruct Inspector Jadhav to kill Siku and dump his body in the water, thus framing Bhavesh for the attack on Mumbai.
Rana meets the Chief Minister (CM) and offers to provide free water on the condition that he receives all future water-related contracts.
The role then went to Sidharth Malhotra,[12] but he was eventually replaced by Harshvardhan Kapoor due to frequent delays in the film's pre-production schedule.

The second song of the film titled as Chavanprash featuring Arjun Kapoor, sung by Divya Kumar, Pragati Joshi and Arohi Mhatre, was re-released on 16 May 2018.
[16] Neil Soans of The Times of India gave 3.5/5 stars and wrote "Vikramaditya Motwane’s take on the superhero genre with gritty, realistic action and a masked vigilante’s story that hits close to home, is worth a look".
[18] Raja Sen of NDTV gave 2.5/5 stars and wrote "The vigilante film is well meaning and has good actors, but it is ultimately a boring effort".
