Plot

Jail tells the story of Parag Dixit (Neil Nitin Mukesh) who is having a peaceful life with his girlfriend Mansi, (Mugdha Godse). But his life takes a turn and he ends up in jail due to a false drugs case in which he is implicated although his friend Keshav (Jignesh Joshi) is responsible for the fiasco. Shortly after getting promoted as Regional Manager of Max Finance, Parag Dixit gets arrested in Bandra for Firing at Police, and Possession of Narcotics. His associate, Keshav, is grievously injured, and is hospitalized in a coma-like condition. Parag's widowed mother, Alka, and Air Hostess girlfriend, Manasi Pandit, retain Advocate Harish Bhatiya (Sandeep Mehta) to represent him at a preliminary bail hearing, but the Judge denies bail. Housed in an overcrowded barrack, with barely room to move, Parag meets with a variety of people - both convicted and awaiting trial - including Abdul Ghani (Rahul Singh) (a person waiting for bail after he accidentally killed a man troubling his wife), Kabir Malik (Arya Babbar) (a convict and henchman of Bababhai), Galib Suratwala, Nawab (Manoj Bajpai) (a prisoner who now works in jail), Joe D'souza (a hit and run accused) (Ali Quli Mirza), Bababhai (a Don who stays in special room and conducts criminal activities by bribing police), etc. The jail mentally tortures Parag but he eventually learns to adjust there.
