Together, they hijack a Mumbai Metro train and negotiate with NSG officer Narmada Rai, demanding ?40,000 crores from the government in exchange for the passengers' lives.

Kaliee Gaikwad, a white-collar criminal and the fourth largest arms dealer in the world, discovers that his daughter Alia is among the captives and agrees to pay the ransom.

Later, Azad and investigation officer Narmada (Nayanthara) meet, fall in love, and get married. They hatch a plan to kidnap the Health Minister and demand world-class infrastructure for government hospitals in exchange for his release.

One night, Narmada uncovers Azad's true identity, leading to a confrontation. Kaliee's brother, Manish Gaikwad, captures and tortures them. However, Azad is rescued by Vikram (Shah Rukh Khan in a double role) and taken to safety. Narmada learns about Azad and Vikram's past when confronting the gang.

After finishing off the terrorists, Vikram discovers that faulty weapons supplied by Kaalie caused brutal injuries to his team.

He reports Kaalie, who retaliates by attacking Vikram and his wife, Aishwarya (Deepika Padukone). Vikram is shot and presumed dead, while Aishwarya is imprisoned for killing corrupt cops on Kaalie's payroll.

Years later, Aishwarya reveals her past to her son Azad, urging him to prove Vikram's innocence and seek justice for the oppressed. She is sentenced to death, while Vikram survives with amnesia and embarks on a quest to find Azad.

Present story

Narmada decides to assist Azad in his mission upon learning of his past. However, one of Narmada's teammates, revealed to be on Kaalie's payroll, attempts to eliminate them, resulting in Lakshmi's death.
