Synopsis[edit]
Jairam Gangavane (Sachin Pilgaonkar) is an upcoming struggling actor whose older astrologer sister, Jaywanti (Nirmiti Sawant), believes that he is destined for greatness. Her husband, Advocate Manohar Barshinge (Ashok Saraf), is a lawyer but he is a fraud as one has to count the fingers of his own hand after a handshake with him. Manohar has not contested a single legal case in the court of law and prefers out-of-court settlements. Jairam gets hit by the Tata Grande car driven by his co-actress, Preeti (Bhargavi Chirmule). Preeti's older brother, Mahesh Thakur (Mahesh Kothare), is the Mumbai Police Commissioner and is married to Meena (Bhagyashree Rane). Preeti had taken the car of Mahesh during the time of the accident so the hit-and-run case becomes that of him. Mahesh comes to the private hospital where Jairam is recovering to solve the issue, but Manohar has decided to sue the owner of the car by then for a financial compensation of ₹50 lakh. Jairam is actually completely unhurt but Manohar convinces him to feign paralysis and remain in the hospital till the verdict of the case.
Though Mahesh and Manohar end up in a face-off in a non-existent case, Preeti decides to confess to Jairam that her brother was not involved in the case at all and falls in love with him in the process. While Jaywanti discovers Jairam and Manohar's deceit and severes ties with them both, Manohar leaks the news of Jairam's accident from Mahesh's car to the press and Jairam reads about it in the newspaper. He then escapes from the hospital and arrives at Mahesh's bungalow house in the middle of the night to reveal the truth about him to Preeti. Jairam is unable to meet Preeti due to Meena's intervention but he and Mahesh shockingly come face-to-face. Does Mahesh arrest Jairam and Manohar for embelling a fraud? Or does Manohar succeed in receiving fifty lakh rupees and Mahesh accept defeat at the hands of the fraudsters? And what happens to Jairam and Preeti's love? Watch out the full movie to know how the story unfolds as Jairam and Manohar cook up a story in front of Mahesh about the incident at his residence.
