Storyline:
Bajirao Singham, who is now a DCP, gets transferred to Mumbai and discovers that one of his team members, Mahesh Jadhav, is found dead inside an ambulance with massive bags of money. Singham decides to unearth the truth behind it and in this process, he collides with a powerful and fraudulent religious leader, Satyaraj “Babaji” Chander, who has high-profile connections with corrupt politicians, including the ruling party’s secretary minister Prakash Rao. During this period, Gurukant “Guruji” Acharya, the veteran leader of the ruling party who has been a teacher to Chief Minister Vikram Adhikari and Singham, is killed by Babaji’s henchmen due to Guruji’s opposition to Rao’s scheme, even though Singham was present at the scene, making him vow vengeance. Because of this, he has to pretend that he has resigned in front of his family. Due to this, his father Manikrao asks him and his childhood friend, Avni Kamat, to come to their hometown, Shivgarh.
After some time, Singham and Avni fall in love with each other. However, it is then revealed that Singham hasn’t resigned and came to Shivgarh on an undercover mission to find evidence against Babaji. When they get back to Mumbai, Babaji starts threatening Singham’s family. On the other hand, Rao harms all of Guruji’s candidates, including Avni, because her in-hiding brother Kishore is one of the candidates. Singham manages to save everyone but before they resign, one of Babaji’s henchmen, Altaf Khan, wakes up from a coma and testifies against him. Singham arrests Babaji and Rao. However, some party workers execute an attack outside the court, killing the witnesses. This causes Babaji and Rao to go scot-free. Singham and his team reach their house without wearing their police uniforms, joined in by police from all around Mumbai.
They successfully fight Babaji and Rao’s men. Singham’s team storms inside Babaji’s house, and comically tortures Babaji and Rao by firing a live round into both of their buttocks. The wounded and humiliated Rao and Baba tell the truth, their confessions secretly being filmed and broadcast on live television and radio. A few weeks later, Guruji’s party won the elections. While being transported to jail in a van, Rao and Baba once again threaten and taunt Singham. Suddenly, the van stops and the driver walks away. A water tanker crashes into the van, sending it into a power station, killing both of them. One of Singham’s allies, Inspector Dev Phadnis tells the media that there was a brake failure, and the incident is deemed as an accident (a plan that was fabricated by Singham which resembled the way Mahesh was killed).
