Vijay 69 is a sports drama about a 69-year-old man, Vijay Mathew (Anupam Kher), a former athlete and swimming coach who, after decades, wants to fulfill his unfulfilled dream of completing a triathlon at an age when most wouldn't even think of it. The triathlon involves swimming, cycling, and running. His motivation goes beyond his achievement, as he wants to prove his worth to his family and peers and support a nursing home run by his close friend (Chunky Panday), which has fallen into financial ruin. How Vijay participates and accomplishes his dream leads to the remaining plot of the story.
