Mauli (Riteish Deshmukh) and Mauli, are twin brothers who share the same name. Mauli is brave and courageous, while Inspector Mauli is the complete opposite. But their life changes when Inspector Mauli gets transferred to a village where there are no laws, and the whole village is afraid of Nana (Jitendra Joshi), a powerful goon who closed down the mandir of God Mauli.
After he gets transferred, he falls in love with Renuka (Saiyami Kher), who mistakenly thinks that he is a brave officer. When Inspector Mauli gets beaten, his brother, Mauli, fights back and gives all the credit to his brother, making him a brave officer in front of the village. However, nobody is able to come to the understanding that they are twin brothers.
When Mauli becomes an obstacle for Nana, he kills him, through which, everybody in the village find out the truth. Inspector Mauli becomes weak without his brother, but decides to kill Nana to save the village and take his revenge.
