The story begins with a CBI raid at a middle-class chartered accountant Bansi Keswani (played by Vinay Pathak) in a scam case. While this case begins his trial with the police, Bansi seems to have a lot more than what meets the eye. Although he got a clean chit in the case Bansi’s life takes a drastic turn after he is arrested in a bank fraud and forgery case wherein he is accused of attempting to extract Rs 1.5 crore from a renowned builder Neeraj Sinha (played by Arif Zakaria).

While all evidence is against him and advocate Savak Jamshedji is keen to get him punished, Birbal Choudhary (played by Rohan Vinod Mehra) comes to Bansi’s rescue. His clever tricks are one of the highlights in the movie but will he be able to prove Bansi’s innocence? Well, that remains a mystery for you to solve.

Ranvir Shorey and Vinay Pathak, who are already among the renowned actors of the industry, were a treat to watch in the movie. While Ranvir did a stupendous job as Jamshedji, Vinay’s performance as a helpless, middle-class man will make you sympathise with him.
