Plot
One morning in 1992 Bombay, Baskhar Kumar is suddenly taken by CBI officials to the Colaba branch of Magadha Bank for interrogation about his alleged embezzlement of its funds during his employment to conduct securities fraud. The real story is revealed through various flashbacks featuring Baskhar breaking the fourth wall regularly to provide additional commentary.
Three years earlier, Baskhar is a cashier in Magadha, one of the few remaining private banks in India following nationalisation. On the side, he helps uneducated people write checks and banking forms for a fee. He lives with his wife Sumathi, who left her rich family to be with him and aspires to start a home food business, their young son Karthik, and Prahalad, Baskhar's father, a former chartered accountant who was paralyzed and became voluntarily mute after being scammed into a bad business deal. Their finances are strained and Baskhar owes many creditors money.
One day, his biggest creditor takes his scooter and the promotion he had always hoped for is given to someone else. Humiliated and desperate, Baskhar steals two lakh rupee from the bank's deposits and gives it to Anthony, a smuggler, to release illegally imported televisions at the port after his previous financiers backed out. Along with Baskhar's friend Samba, a peon at the same bank, they successfully release the TVs and earn double the money, allowing them to replace the stolen cash and make a profit. More shipments come in over the next few months, enabling Baskhar to pay off his debts and improve his family's lives.
Anthony plans one last shipment before leaving the trade and joining his nephew in America, this time of three foreign cars, upping the stakes with a payment of ten lakh. Baskhar initially hesitates, but his son's happiness from their new lifestyle changes his mind. A raid on the original buyer scuttles their initial plans, and they have to go to a dealer in Goa instead over the weekend. By masquerading as government cars and using fake politicians played by beggars and an exotic dancer, they evade government checkpoints and succeed. Baskhar manages to return the money again but learns that the managers in the bank have been arrested for their own fraudulent activity, bringing more scrutiny. However, their removal paves the way for Baskhar to get the promotion, increasing his salary. Samba continues in the smuggling business while Baskhar stops.
