Plot

Zunjaar Rao Ghorpade (Jairam Kulkarni) runs a newspaper called Zunjaar, but it's not doing well. He hopes his son Lakshya (Laxmikant Berde) will help, but Lakshya spends more time with his girlfriend Gange (Priya Arun). In a desperate move, Lakshya publishes a fake story about a dacoit, Taklu Haiwan (Rahul Solapurkar), coming to their village. This boosts their newspaper sales but also creates fear in the village. Uma (Nivedita Joshi), who works for a rival paper called Apradh, comes to cover the news. As panic spreads, Inspector Mahesh Jadhav (Mahesh Kothare) is transferred to handle the situation.

The problem gets real when Taklu Haiwan and his gang actually arrive in the village. Now faced with a genuine threat, Lakshya and Inspector Mahesh must set aside their differences, team up, and devise a plan to protect their village from the looming danger posed by Taklu Haiwan and his gang.
