?Vijay Aso? showcases the political scene which we witness in our daily lives. The film is about how party workers are manipulated by shrewd politicians for their own selfish interest. The hidden clashes between the political head honchos and their workers, their different agendas, their victories and losses are shown in this movie.

Vijay Aso is a fast paced narration of the story about a political party-worker Shankar Gawde (Chinmay Mandlekar) who works under Forest Minister Prakash Jadhav (Murli Sharma). To get success in his political ambitions, Jadhav uses Gawde to stage fake protests and gatherings.

The story takes a turn when Jadhav is exposed by television journalist Shrikant Pathak, which makes Gawde shell shocked when he realises his blind faith is misused by Jadhav to cover up allegation against him.
