). However, his life takes a turn when he ends up in jail due to a drug case in which he was falsely implicated; his good friend Keshav (Jignesh Joshi) is responsible for his misfortune. Shortly after getting promoted as Regional Manager of Max Finance, Parag Dixit is arrested in Bandra for firing at police and for possession of narcotics. His associate Keshav is grievously injured and is hospitalized in critical condition. Parag's widowed mother, Alka, and Air Hostess girlfriend, Manasi Pandit, retain Advocate Harish Bhatiya (Sandeep Mehta) to represent him at a preliminary bail hearing, but the Judge denies bail. Housed in an overcrowded barrack, having barely any room to move, Parag meets with a variety of people - both convicted and awaiting trial - including: * Abdul Ghani ( Rahul Singh) - a person waiting for bail after he accidentally killed a man troubling his wife * Kabir Malik (

) - a prisoner who now works in the jail * Joe D'souza (Ali Quli Mirza) - a person accused of a hit and run accident * Bababhai - a Don who stays in a special room and conducts criminal activities by bribing police Parag is tortured mentally by the jail, but he eventually learns to adjust to his new situation. Parag again appears in court after a charge-sheet is filed. Due to the offences' seriousness and the fear of tampering with evidence and witnesses, he is denied bail. Months later, Keshav dies while Parag still awaits trial. In jail, several storylines intertwine. Parag befriends Nawab, who is sympathetic to him. Ghani's wife leaves him, and he agrees to become Bababhai's henchman and is released on bail. Although, he finds out his wife has married another man and proceeds to take his own life. Galib escapes from jail by bribing the police. Joe gets bail and celebrates by donating some of his items which anger Parag, who subsequently beats him up. Parag is transferred to solitary confinement as punishment. After ten days, he is released on request of Nawab. He is sleep-deprived, but he is allowed to go to the hospital to meet his mother and Mansi with the help of Kabir. Nawab is angry at him and requests him to stay away from the gangsters as they demand a lot in return. He narrates the story of how his little brother, under the influence of a gangster, was involved in a murder case, and Nawab was forced to kill him as well as the gangster. Two years later, during Parag's final trial, he is convicted under the Drug Act and is sentenced to rigorous imprisonment of 10 years, out of which two years he has already served. He, therefore, still has eight years left to serve in prison. Embittered by the abuse and without any faith in the overburdened system, Parag contemplates suicide. Parag asks Kabir to ask Bababhai to help him get out of jail. He agrees to do anything in return. Kabir agrees. A routine transfer of jail is happening; Parag is transferred to Nasik jail and Kabir to Kolhapur. During the transfer, a corrupt police officer places Parag in Kabir's transport. Nawab senses it but stays quiet. During the Nasik jail trip, Kabir and his gang cause an accident and escape, but Parag stays back. Nawab is informed about the events by Jailor Arvind Joshi (
