Vijay's father threatens the bureaucracy with self-immolation if the village's basic need for water is not fulfilled. To set an example, the father sets himself ablaze before the villagers and the media. As fate would have it, his sacrifice is forgotten and instead his family is affected. Vijay grows up with the dream that one day, he will come face to face with the bureaucracy with a simple request; that his village 'Badlapur' receives government's attention to solve their water crisis. Vijay then performs in a kabaddi competition in hopes of making a change, but punctures his rib and dies, but wins the competition. His coach then bring this fact in public and the government finally agrees to these demands and the village have water for irrigation once again.[4]
