A diamond, a dog and Dubai

The action begins in Mumbai, where thief Rocky steals an extremely valuable diamond. Rocky is supposed to deliver it in Dubai to an accomplice of his London-based uncle Choksi. News that the diamond is on its way reaches Moscow Chikna, a local gangster. He pressures Chobey, a junk shop owner burdened by debt, into taking the stone for him.

Chobey brings in his niece Tina, a small-time criminal, and her boyfriend Raja, described as talented. Raja has a separate arrangement with Lajwanti, an elderly woman whose deceased nephew he is paid to impersonate so that she will be spared trauma. As the diamond changes hands, it also attracts J.D., a powerful don who runs illegal fight rings, and Gunmaster G9, a detective hired to recover it.

Chobey's group intercepts Rocky, amid mounting confusion around the theft. Moscow Chikna kills Rocky and takes the diamond, but Chobey's group steals it back during the commotion. Their apparent success is short-lived when Hajmola, Chobey's dog, accidentally swallows the diamond. The animal then becomes the most valuable creature in Dubai.

Elsewhere, Munna runs a garage and is unaware that his elder brother is involved in a car-stealing ring. Lucky, a gambler, needs to repay a debt to J.D. and seeks fighters for the don's illegal bouts. Munna becomes caught in J.D.'s conflict after the gangster's men burn his home in India Colony. Payal, Munna's girlfriend, is fleeing J.D.'s human trafficking operation. To protect his community and save Payal, Munna reluctantly agrees to fight for the gangster.
