Radhe has an old grudge against Tripathi as years ago, Radhe as a student was infatuated with his teacher, Rosie (Mahie Gill). Tripathi, who was high on libido, raped and murdered Rosie teacher.

Kadak Singh still manages to work with both until Tripathi sets his lecherous eyes on Radhe's wife Lalli (Shriya Saran). Radhe has to make a choice and is forced to train his guns on Tripathi.

==Critical reception==
The film received mixed reviews from critics; while some commentators praised the humour.
Shubhra Gupta of The [[Indian Express]] gave the film 1 stars out of 5; she wrote that For lack of a better descriptor, Phamous can be said to be about men and moustaches. The kind of men who lord over the arid hillocks of the Chambal, who shower more affection on their ‘mooch’ than their ‘mashooka’. Or should we hazard the guess that their ‘mooch’ is their ‘mashooka’?<ref>{{cite news |title=Phamous movie review: Much ado about nothing |url=http://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/movie-review/phamous-movie-review-jimmy-sheirgill-pankaj-tripathi-star-rating-5199802/ |accessdate=1 June 2018 |publisher=[[Indian Express]]}}</ref>
