A description of the movie reads in a statement: “The story is about Gawli, a man who scripted his own destiny, eventually going on to become one of India’s most feared mobsters. Now, he remains an enigmatic figure; at once a volatile, power-hungry gangster for some and the venerated ‘Daddy’ or a modern day Robin Hood for the working-class neighbourhood he belongs to.”
It is narrated from multiple perspectives and spans over four decades.
