Crime Branch is headed by Sadhu Agashe (Nana Patekar). It is the section of the Mumbai Police Department responsible for handling the underworld related cases. Agashe joined the police in October 1985, and it has been 19 years since then. He joined the Special Forces in 1994. Sadhu is the city's best inspector, with an enviable reputation and record of encounter shootings. Sadhu is known for apprehending criminals and shooting them down. He then makes it look like an "encounter", where the criminal and the police got into a shootout, and the criminal was shot dead in resultant police firing. Sadhu is a media sensation for eliminating many known underworld hit-men. Though tough, he is a loving husband to his wife Namita (Revathi) and son Aman (Tanmay Jahagirdar) and also helps his informers and other poor people in times of need. His immediate junior, Imtiyaz Siddiqui (Yashpal Sharma) despises Sadhu to no end; he feels Sadhu intentionally belittles him. Sadhu does not believe that Imtiyaz has reliable sources and discourages him from taking any action. Also, Imtiyaz is more concerned about adding to his encounter score and therefore ends up killing more than the primary target which is the main reason Sadhu dislikes him. To add to his woes, Imtiyaz is unable to surpass Sadhu's encounter "score" of 50. Imtiyaz himself is at 41. Jatin (Nakul Vaid) is a rookie to this line of policing who manages to impress Sadhu. The inspector takes the newcomer under his wing, further antagonizing Imtiyaz. Jatin follows Sadhu's instructions to the letter and doesn't get into the morality of their actions. Sadhu even invites Jatin and his fiance Vaishali (Hrishitaa Bhatt) for dinner at his home. Imtiyaz feels that he is being deliberately kept away from meaningful assignments that lead to fame and promotions. All of them report to the Commissioner Pradhan (Mohan Agashe) who is a fair and honest police officer. Pradhan knows about Sadhu's encounters and protects him as he knows that there is no evidence against the underworld and thus, they will never be punished by the courts. Sadhu establishes a love-hate friendship on the phone with Zameer (Prasad Purandare), a notorious underworld leader based abroad, who grudgingly admires Sadhu for his no-nonsense attitude. Zameer and rival don, Rajshekhar run the Mumbai underworld. Zameer believes that police is eliminating his gang by being in cahoots with Rajshekhar. Sadhu retorts that he himself has killed 16 of Rajshekhar's men. Sadhu Agashe's world begins to turn upside down as Pradhan retires and with the entrance of the new commissioner, Suchak (Jeeva) who has a strong link to the Don, Rajshekhar. Suchak doesn't like that Sadhu is a hero for the media, who ignore his press conference to interview Sadhu. Suchak signals his intentions to Sadhu when he reopens the cases files against Sadhu. Jatin knows that Suchak is against Sadhu and tries to warn him. Pradhan tells Sadhu that senior officers are temporary and that he should not abandon his path. Suchak takes a liking towards Imtiyaz who is willing to do encounters primarily of Zameer's men mainly on Rajshekhar's orders. During one the raids against Rajshekhar's main hit-man Feroz (Parvez Fazal Khan), Imtiaz messes up, resulting in the death of Feroz's mother & Feroz's arrest (Sadhu didn't kill Feroz as he was under orders from Suchak to capture him alive). Shortly thereafter, Feroz escapes custody. Suchak starts undermining and belittling Sadhu. Sadhu continues on his honest path. Eventually, the pressures of his career take a toll on his personal life as Sadhu's wife is killed by an assassin's bullet, which was meant for Sadhu. All the suspicion falls on Feroz, but Sadhu is unable to trace him down. Suchak orders Sadhu not to follow any leads against Feroz without any solid evidence. When Sadhu threatens to resign, Suchak installs Imtiyaz as the new Head of the Crime Branch. During his personal investigation into this matter, Sadhu kills a few right-hand men of Rajshekhar. Sadhu is compelled to resign from the force and Suchak (on Rajshekhar's orders) sends Imtiyaz to kill Sadhu. Sadhu manages to kill him and in a peculiar chain of events, Sadhu Agashe, a once famed inspector, becomes a fugitive of the law. Suchak announces shoot at sight orders against Sadhu despite Pradhan's advice to the contrary. Sadhu is forced to ask Zameer for help in escaping from India. Meanwhile Jatin, who has been growing increasingly disenchanted by Suchak's behavior, resigns and calls for a press conference and exposes Suchak's connection to Rajshekhar. Suchak disputes this but is suspended pending investigation. Sadhu goes to Zameer's HQ and thanks him for releasing him and tells him that he is now Zameer's man. As Zameer and Sadhu are drinking alone celebrating this, Sadhu breaks a glass and uses the sharp edge to kill Zameer and escape. Before killing Zameer, Sadhu had accused him of killing his wife & then framing Feroz for the same. At a location abroad, Sadhu and Pradhan are having coffee. Pradhan asks Sadhu about why he has run away thereby proving the allegations against him, Sadhu tells him that it is part of his plan. He was able to kill Zameer as a fugitive which he never could have as a cop. He says that he will now go to Rajshekhar since Rajshekhar is thrilled at Zameer's death and kill him too. Sadhu says that he doesn't care what the world thinks of him, and he will always be a cop and will continue his work of eliminating crime until he dies. He requests Pradhan to look after his son who is with his aunt in Pune and Pradhan contemplatively agrees.

Three women in a Bihar village are sentenced to death by their menfolk. Their crime is that they dared to protest. Ketki (Madhuri Dixit), an educated young girl with dreams in her eyes, gets married into a family of upper class landlords, whose fortunes have been consumed by lethargy and extravagance. Her husband Vinay Singh (Ayub Khan) has no agricultural land left, does not have the capital to start a business, and fails to secure a job due to the governments policy of reservation for the backward castes. Ketki makes sacrifices to support him in his entrepreneurial endeavours. But fails to restrain him when, in desperation to get rich quick, he aligns with the wrong people. Contractor and power broker Tirpat (Mohan Joshi) and local politician Pandey (Harish Patel) make use of Vinay's innocence for their own profit. Vinay's degeneration is complete when he thrashes Ketki for objection to his misdeeds. Her upbringing, self-respect and righteousness make it difficult for her to bear this humiliation. She suffers.

Greedy for the wealth and political clout of the local temple, Abhay Singh masterminds the murder of the temple head and gets himself ordained as his successor. This entails renouncing the world and deserting his wife, which he cruelly does, citing her childlessness. The truth is that Chandravati has shielded her husband's impotence for seventeen years and now suddenly finds herself in the ignominious position of an abandoned woman. The solace offered by a lower caste well wisher of the family Rambaran (Om Puri) causes unexpected problems for her. She suffers.
