Sand Sharks

4 friends Kalim (Angad Bedi) (Auto mechanic), Gautam (Neil Bhoopalam) (Hardware specialist), Maya (Kangana Ranaut) (Nurse) and Abhay (Randeep Hooda) (Media) start a gang called the "Ungli" gang which fights against corruption. Their job is to bug corrupt people and teach them moral lessons quite unconventionally. They abduct 3 government officers from a pension office, who were not releasing pension of an aged man Makrand Dubey without a bribe. The old man had a stroke. To teach them a lesson, Abhay straps a fake bomb on all 3 and makes them run around a stadium saying that the bombs will go off if they stop running. The media nicknames them the "Ungli" gang based on the gesture that Abhay made at the end of his tape that he sent to the media, protecting his identity. Gautam wants to back out as he says that he is the only bread-earner for his family. They target a corrupt minister, who is threatening a local lawyer Ansari who had filed a PIL against the minister Gaikwad. The gang enters his house, sedates the minister & then proceed to tattoo him & post Ungli posters all over his house, and become the most wanted people in Mumbai. But also earn respect, affection, and admiration in the media and general public. Tiesta is Abhay's colleague and wants to investigate the Ungli gang. Abhay has a crush on Tiesta and tries to discourage her. Meanwhile, ACP Ashok Kaale (Sanjay Dutt) meets his superior, DCP Shivraman (Shiv Kumar Subramaniam) who introduces him to Police Commissioner Arvind Kaul (Raza Murad) with the task of deciphering the Ungli gang. Later, Kaale travels to another police station where he meets an amusingly frustrated officer, Kaale's colleague and bomb-squad commandant Shishir Mishra (Shishir Sharma), who is disgusted with the "crime" his recruit Nikhil Abhyankar (Emraan Hashmi) has done. A college was attended to by the bomb squad when there was news that a bomb was planted there. Nikhil took advantage of the situation and met his girlfriend (Rachel White) with whom he shared a kiss, but soon they were caught by the dogs of the Bomb Squad. Later, it surfaced up that the call was made from Mishra's desk, and Nikhil did it. Kaale finds it funny at first and points out the clever act Nikhil made. Shishir reprimands Nikhil and Kaale. Kaale visits Nikhil's mother (Reema Lagoo) where she tells him that Nikhil had the qualities of his father, Kaale's colleague Arvind, and that Nikhil was raised by Kaale like his own son. Nikhil, it is shown, attends a disco bar, where Kaale calls him up to discuss matters concerning the "Ungli" gang. When the Ungli gang do their next expose with the RTO driving license bribes, Abhay records the whole thing and gives it to Tiesta, again concealing his own identity. Tiesta runs the story as news on her network. Tiesta asks Abhay out on a date. Nikhil begins searching for altruistic opportunities to earn the Ungli gang great fame, once by blowing up the roads in front of a minister's house and accusing politicians and PWD workers of torturing the people by lavishly spending money on renovation of roads directly linked to houses and offices of politicians and cooperates alone. Another instance by putting up a label of dishonesty on the auto-rickshaw drivers by accusing them of charging high rates and showing reluctance when asked to drive to places close by. In his video, Nikhil had left clues for the real Ungli gang to find him for a meeting. The gang wants Nikhil to stop using their name, but Nikhil refuses. Maya suggests that since Nikhil wishes to join the gang, and on certain terms and conditions, the four friends admit Nikhil, and narrate the story behind the gang's formation. Maya's brother Rajeev Singh aka Ricky (Arunoday Singh) was a great fitness freak and struck a rapport with the four friends quite a time. However, one day, while trying to prevent a scuffle between an old man (Avijit Dutt) and a bratty youngster Anshuman (Rajat Kaul), Ricky tried to defend the old man, but Anshuman struck him hard, landing him straight into coma. The old man later decided to complain to the police, but was advised against it by the police itself, when gangster B.R. Dayal (Mahesh Manjrekar), Anshuman's father who also close to the Police Commissioner, said so. The old man was firm, but when his granddaughter, while waiting at a bus stop, was threatened with an acid attack, the old man was forced to swerve from his stand to protect her. This plunged Maya into grief, but Abhay was angry at one of Maya's comments and this paved the way for the "Ungli" gang. Nikhil poses as a law student to deceive the four. While preparing for a raid, Nikhil sprained his knee, but later called up Kaale when the four left. However, feeling remorseful, he later attacked Kaale to defend his new "friends". When Nikhil's identity was discovered, the four friends slammed him with Abhay hitting him hard, and Kaale further hitting him, but Nikhil later chides Kaale for believing the "Ungli" gang as a criminal force. However, when faced with a loss of duty, finding that DCP Shivraman is trying to bribe him into getting a posting of choice to save ends, Kaale agrees with Nikhil, and seeks out the gang to expose Dayal. Meanwhile, Abhay confesses to his co-worker, Tiesta Sen (Neha Dhupia) his love for her as well as his identity of the "Ungli" gang. Exposing a dirty racket of money makers in the widely distributed Mumbai police force with a simple chemical trick involving sulfur sprayed over printed notes that would leave a lasting black impression on the officer's tongue via saliva, Kaale regains duty and is promoted to the post of Commissioner, getting Dayal and Anshuman arrested. Later, Kaale reassures the gang that the city won't need another as long as everything is under control.
