Aazam revolves around the succession battle of mafia don Nawab Khan, who controls the syndicate of five partners governing the city. Kader, Nawab’s son, is his legitimate heir in the business, but he plans to eliminate all his father’s associates on the advice of his colleague Javed. However, Kader’s plan fails as other syndicate members have their own agenda for the gang war. In the middle of this conspiracy, DCP Joshi is trying to stop the gang war. —IANS
