While performing his crime-fighting duties in Karachi, Inspector Gulab requests D.I.G. Babar to stop his promotion so he can continue collecting bribes under him, who works for Rana, a corrupt politician who owns a lion at his place. One day while on duty, Gulab encounters Jia, whose cell phone was snatched while she was rescuing pets. He recovers her cellphone as he falls for her, and starts giving her different pets for her animal shelter in an attempt to grow closer to her, but he does not seem to be interested in petting them as he loses control over her hamster.
Gulab continues to thug common peddlers and threatens some to leave the place for the VIPs who have heavily paid him bribes; most of it is kept in a secret locker at Rana's place while Gulab himself keeps some of it. Later, when Munir, Gulab's father, discovers that he secretly stores the bribes he collects in his house, Munir dies in pain that even his son has ignored the lesson he taught him 20 years ago to respect Muhammad Ali Jinnah, and has begun to follow the corrupt ones. Mourning Gulab, he still ignores the fact that his father raised him on Halal income as he preferred his will over his father's commands, so he finds Jinnah's pictures missing on Pakistani rupee notes, which his assistant, Ronaq, also notices assuming that Jinnah supervises their earnings and now he is upset about what they did. To confirm what they saw, they shared awareness about Jinnah's respect for those who had Haram income, and soon those people also find Jinnah's picture missing, including Babar and Rana; thus, their currency notes now seem fake.
As Jia gets angry after learning about Gulab's deeds, Gulab realizes all his mistakes and turns over a new leaf. He returns the money with an apology note by following the list of people his team has made. He beats an officer publicly for misbehaving with a peddler, which sparks controversy. However, he also offers his seniors, Babar and Rana, to ask Jinnah for an apology at Mazar-e-Quaid, which Rana ignores and instead requests the bill in assembly about either completely removing Jinnah's picture from the currency notes or instead start using US$. Multiple public protests rose against this act and against owning a jungle animal on his private property; the latter protest was led by Jia.
Soon, Gulab tries to seek warrants against Rana as he discloses the bribes collected. Instead, he breaks in there over Jia's complaint, after which the lion is handed over to the police, who will now safely move it to the jungle. Meanwhile, Rana tries to escape by burning his house and informing Babar; however, Gulab recovers all the money from Rana's private jet and blows the money raining in the city for common people as he gets an order from Babar who also realizes his true duty, while Gulab drowns with the jet in the Clifton Beach, Karachi. Rana is arrested and imprisoned as the police de-route him, and a revived Gulab appears there to slap Rana for his corrupt behaviors.
As Gulab gets free of this case, he witnesses Jinnah's picture reappear on his salary which he receives for the first time in a while, assuming that his father, Munir, and the Father of the Nation, Jinnah, are now happy with his acts. He accepts his promotion and with his salary, he and Jia express love for each other and propose to marry.
