Tiger, Amitabh Bachchan dominates the docks of Mumbai in 1975, enforcing a brutal regime that treats workers like disposable gear in the massive machine of Bhaktawar’s power. Amidst the clang of cranes and the murmur of harbor secrets, Tiger’s loyalties are complex: he extorts money from the laborers to support his father, Deepak Shirke as an enforcer for Bhaktawar, while secretly nursing a bond with Jumma, the sister of his closest friend, Romesh Sharma as Gonsalves. Jumma, whom Tiger loves, becomes a bright point in a world defined by fear and exploitation, a beacon that makes his double life feel possible.
