Now the undisputed leader of the underworld, Bulla is hired by a corrupt politician Bachchubhai Bhigona (Deepak Shirke) to murder his rival.

Shetty successfully murders in front of several gawking policemen, but as soon as he can outrun the police he is caught and turned over to the authorities by Shankar (Mithun Chakraborty).

He lives in relative comfort with his policeman father, his sister, Geeta, and a pet monkey called Tinku.

Shankar reaches the scene and beats Bulla's men, who can somersault many feet high in the air while fighting.

When he learns of his daughter's death, Shankar's father grieves and threatens Inspector Kale, whom he blames for being a henchman for Bulla the gangster.

Before killing Chikna, Shankar learns that the baby girl he adopted was, in fact, Bulla's illegitimate child.

The action quickly switches to a coal mine, where Bulla tries to use the adopted baby which he thinks is Shankar's daughter to gain leverage in the fight.

Over the past few months, about four unrelated sources from three parts of the world have asked me if I'd seen Kanti Shah's Gunda.
