Originally a bar dancer in Mumbai, India, Simran is the girlfriend of a notorious gangster, Daya (Shiney Ahuja). 5 years ago, Daya's boss Khan (Gulshan Grover) ordered him to give Simran up. When Khan threatened Simran, Daya turned on him and Khan cut Daya loose from his gang.

She and Daya were forced to flee to Seoul. They took a small boy named Bittu with them. After an encounter with the Mumbai police, Bittu was killed, causing a strain in the couple's relationship and pushing Simran toward alcoholism. Leaving Simran alone in Seoul, Daya went to work in Mauritius and then Dubai.

Aakash tells Simran that he cares for her despite her past, and their relationship gradually develops from friendship to love. Daya, who is still in Dubai, suddenly comes to Seoul. When he learns of Simran's affair with Aakash, he attacks and severely beats him in a fit of rage and jealousy. Daya then professes his love for her and promises to reform and fulfill her dreams of a normal life; he also tells her that if she truly loves Aakash he will not hold her back. Before Simran can respond, the police arrive in pursuit of Daya and Simran. The two flee.

Daya gives up murdering innocents and begins working odd jobs, admitting to Simran that he has found peace in doing honest work. He says that he would like to return to his village in India with her, so that they might live there peacefully. To do so he would have to perform one last crime: fake passports for him and Simran.

Simran, who is longing for Aakash, soon discovers that she is pregnant with his child. When she tells Aakash, he meets her and tells her he would like to marry her, but they will never find peace as long as Daya is at large. He says that for the sake of their unborn child, Daya must be turned in to the police and only Simran can do this. Simran, who is still emotionally attached to Daya, refuses.

Meanwhile, Daya, who has gone to forge passports for himself and Simran, is intercepted by Khan, who reminds Daya of what had occurred between them years before and says that he intends to make an example of Daya for abandoning the gang. Khan and his men severely beat and wound Daya, who is eventually able to fight back and kills Khan. He then calls Simran, warning her that the police are after them and asking her to meet him outside a Seoul train station that night.

Simran arrives at the appointed time to find Daya badly injured from his fight with Khan. He manages to crawl to Simran and takes out a box of sindoor for her. But just as he reaches and embraces her, they are surrounded by police cars. Daya realises that Simran informed the police; heartbroken and screaming, he is hauled away. Simran remains at the station until morning and then goes to meet Aakash, whom she finds is not at home. She is soon informed that he is at the Indian embassy.

When she reaches the embassy, she enters a room full of reporters and sees a large screen showing a video of her telling Aakash about her relationship with Daya. She is thunderstruck when she sees that the one addressing the media is none other than Aakash, who is actually an undercover Indian detective hired to capture Daya. Realizing that Aakash befriended and wooed her solely to discover Daya's whereabouts, she explodes in fury in front of the media; Aakash holds her back and slaps her across the face. He tells her that he never cared for her and that his involvement with her was only a part of his duty to end organised crime and bring justice to his country. Enraged, Simran tries to attack him, but she is stopped by security. While she is being hauled away, she yells that to spread justice Aakash and his colleagues have done her an injustice and that Daya, who has never betrayed anyone, is not the gangster but Aakash and his men are. She reminds Aakash that he has betrayed the woman who is carrying his child and that he will regret his actions.

Daya, who has been arrested and taken to jail, sends Simran a letter saying that he does not blame her for what she did and that she is the one who has been betrayed; he admits that he has done many cruel and bad things but that, thanks to her, he now knows what it is like to live an honest life. He encloses her fake passport and, stating his love for her, writes that he would feel better knowing that she is living safely in India. After reading Daya's letter, Simran is left pained and guilty.

Months later, Daya admits and pleads guilty to his crimes. He is tried and sentenced to death. Simran goes to meet him in prison and asks him to forgive her; they share an emotional goodbye. She later goes to Aakash's residence and, forcefully entering his house with a gun, shoots and fatally injures him. Before he lapses into unconsciousness, Aakash shoots her in the shoulder and they are found and taken to a hospital.

Aakash dies in the hospital while Simran is transferred to the I.C.U. At dawn she escapes to the roof, where she commits suicide by jumping off the roof. At the same time, Daya is hanged. Simran is shown falling through the air. Before she reaches the ground we see her standing in a meadow and gazing at Daya, who is holding Bittu. Smiling, they hold out their arms to her; she happily runs toward them, and they embrace in heaven.

The soundtrack is composed by Pritam Chakraborty. The complete album consisted of five original tracks and four remixes.[20] Saregama brought the music rights of the Film. The song "Bheegi Bheegi" is a modern re-creation of the song "Prithibi Ta Naki" by Moheener Ghoraguli, which was later covered by the Kolkata-based band Krosswindz.[21] Singer Zubeen Garg had first sung "Tu Hi Meri Shab Hai" but later in the released version its dubbed by KK.[22] "Ya Ali" is a rip-off of the Kuwaiti pop song "Ya Ghali" by the Kuwaiti band Guitara.[23]

The soundtrack was popular upon release with songs like "Ya Ali", "Tu Hi Meri Shab Hai" & "Bheegi Bheegi" topping the charts and being consequently declared chartbusters within a week of their release. Gangster became the fifth best-selling album of 2006 in India selling over 16,00,000 units.[24]Aakash Gandhi from Planet Bollywood rated the album 7.5/10 and wrote, "All in all, I would say that Gangster is a sure winner. It has mass appeal; it has a flavorful array of tunes to sample, and it features some fresh singers."[25]

I TOO WAS DISAPOINTED WITH THE BOOK. EVEN THOUGH I READ THE WHOLE THING I WAS WAITING FOR THE TIE TO TCWE AND IT NEVER HAPPENED. THE BOOK WAS EXTREMELY LONG. I DID NOT EXPECT HER TO PUT THE WHOLE STORY OF TCWE IN THE BOOK BUT COME ON THAT IS WHAT HAD DRAWN US TO MIDNIGHT,

I too read the book and was sadly dissapointed. i tried to root for the author since i was such a big fan of the first novel but coming from an Islamic background myself and actually being from West Africa, i must say a lot of the information was inaccurate. i do however realize that this is fiction and appreciate the idea. In addition i would have like to see some tie to tcwe and i also noted the inconsistancies in the stories. I was sadly not satisied but would definatly read a third part in hope that it all ties in.

i read the book &&i agree that is was long but because it was such a great book i didnt really realize.i looked at the page count&&almost didnt read but im glad i did. i love the way she portrays midnight and his family. i cant wait to see how she ties it in w/ TCWE. the ending hurt my feelingsa bit. but i am kind of glad that she held out because thats just gona make the sequel so much better.! CANT WAIT TO READ IT. im already on the waiting list.

i wus kinda upset with this because i thought i wld bee more xciting nd interesting than it actually wus i likeed tha character bangs but tcwe was deffinatelyy a moreeee bettter story nd i understood why midnight did what he did in tcwe it clearer to me. however i also likeed that he still haad a wonderful relationship with amkel i think that was cute but i would have never guessed that midnight was muslim and i think its great tht he really rrespects women=) but still kind of disappointed it was boring im nt even gunna lie. TCWE was tha hottest.!!!!!!!!

Something else crossed my mind as I struggled to finish this book, only because I paid money for it. Why was it okay for Akemi to make sexual advances. i noticed that whenever they were together she came on to him strong, yet she was never judged, criticized, or called a whore. Unfortunately, the black girls from the neighborhood were considered to be worthless whores for doing the same thing. I was wondering whether or not I was the only person who had a problem with that. It appears that the black girls in the neighborhood are not allowed to purse love or affection when the japanese girl is. Is it just me or was there a double standard in this novel?

First off Midnight, a gangsta love story is not a sequel to tcwe. It is a prequel. Has nuthin to do with the other book. This book is about MIDNIGHT. && yes, there is a part 2 out right now. Midnight, && the meaning of luv. It mentions santiaga && it talks about midnight goin to get his wife Akemi back. But it does not talk about winter or why midnight really was in jail. Its his Story. I loved the book. All 3 of them.

The series went on to become a smash hit, with over 50 million downloads world-wide. My story was told in Episode 11, The Doctor Broad. A literary agent, Esmond Harmsworth, of Aevitas Creative Management, was a big fan of Crimetown, and when he heard through a mutual friend that I had written a memoir, he contacted me and became my agent. Heliotrope Books in New York City will publish The Doctor Broad on September 3, 2019. Two different production companies have expressed interest in developing The Doctor Broad as a movie.
