After leaving his home, Lakshman takes up a job in Mumbai city as a delivery boy. Although the job is not much, but it is enough to take care of his rent and food. To quench his thirst for knowledge, he applies for admissions in universities & collages, but since he has no proper schooling & identity, he doesnt get admissions anywhere.
Dejected he starts learning in his house by buying books. presumably his home is half full of books in no time. This takes a a toll on his already meager salary, and many a times leads to delays in paying rent. The land lady starts nagging about the delay in payments whenever she sees him, or when he returns home. To save himself from her, he starts coming very late from work, and uses his infrared device which he had made himself. this helps him to see where she is, so that she can never sneak upon him.
Days pass by and Lakshman begins to understand more about this world, but most of all he is fascinated by humans and their emotions. He cannot pinpoint, but he seems to understand their emotions well. The delivery job also makes him travel a lot due to which he now has a fair idea of places, landmarks and addresses.
One day in the morning as he is preparing to leave for work, he receives a call on his cell from home. He picks it up, the call is from his friends who inform that his father has died in the sea. Devastated he doesn't know what to say. They tell him to come immediately. Lakshman immediately prepares to go to his home. There he finds that his father is being led to the crematorium, being his son, Lakshman does the last rites of his father. Tears flowing down his eyes, he comes to console his mother who had been crying since morning.
He asks his fathers friends and uncles what had happened. Taking him aside, his friends tell him that it was not an accident and that his father had been murdered by a group of people. He cannot believe why somebody would kill his father. He was a good man and didn't have any quarrels even inside the house. On probing further, he comes to know that his father and his friends had set out to sea in the morning as usual, but they saw a boat approaching in the sea with men. These men had guns in their boats. Sadanand asked them who they were and what were they doing with guns. when the group didn't not respond convincingly. Sadadnand threatened them he would call the police. It was at this moment that they started open fire on fisherman, and threatened to kill all of them if they said anything about them to anybody. Hearing this his body cringed and his blood boiled, he wanted to kill all of them.
Upon this time, he heard about a terrorist attack in CST station. The news channels showed live footage of the terrorists who were on a rampage. Lakshman's friends identified these terrorists as those who had killed Sadanand. Blind with rage, Lakshman rammed out of the house and headed towards CST. While going to CST he learnt that the group has split and some of them were hiding in Taj Mahal Hotel. He knew the place and entered Taj from the rear and advanced on to upper floors, with his infrared detector he found where they were hiding. When he heard gun fires and crying of women and children his instincts took over him and he dashed head on towards the terrorists. The terrorists seeing another man approaching them started spraying Lakshman with bullets. But none of the bullets had any effect on Lakshman. Mad with rage lakshman killed every one with his bare hands and rescued the people from there. It was only later that he realized, they had shot him, but he survived. Surprised he checked on his body for bullet wounds, only to find his clothes tattered from the bullets, but not his body.
At the same time he heard that a terrorist was heading for Chowpatty. Grabbing his infrared device, he ran out of the hotel towards chowpatty. He also realised that he could run very fast. He reached Chowpatty in no time. He saw the terrorist in a car and ran towards the car. With just his hands he stopped the car and made it in to a pulp. He was about to kill the terrorist when police arrived at the scene. They asked him not to kill the terrorist. He didn't care for what they said, and was about to strangle him when he heard a women's voice "Please, dont take the murders of these terrorists on your hands" again instinctively he left the terrorist and handed him over to the police. He saw it was a lady inspector who had asked him not to kill the terrorist. He fell on the ground, but was helped by the lady and other policemen.
He woke up in the morning in the police station. he remembered what had happened last night and asked what time is was. The lady inspector came to him and told him all was fine. He learnt that her name was Urmila. He had saved many people last night, and that for his services he was going to get bravery award from the mayor.
The next day a function was organised to honour those people who had risked their own lives to save others. Lakshman felt he didn't deserve the honour as he was just taking revenge for his father's murder. But nonetheless he went on to the stage to receive the medal. The audience stood up when his name was called. Seeing the love of people for him he realised how much someone was needed to take care of this city.
Standing on the podium with his medal he decided one thing. He will be that some one
Someone to save this city from bad people
And thus Laksh the super hero was born
