In the captivating film, viewers are introduced to Dev Kaushal (played by the talented Irrfan Khan), an ordinary salesman specializing in toilet paper. However, his life is far from fulfilling, both in his professional and personal spheres. Dev finds himself trapped in a state of disillusionment, yearning for something more.

Faced with the urgency of the situation, Ranjit turns to Dolly to arrange the demanded amount. However, as events unfold, Dolly’s father becomes aware of the missing money and confronts Ranjit, urging him to return it promptly. Caught between a rock and a hard place, Ranjit resorts to a desperate measure: he decides to blackmail Reena, Dev’s wife, for an increased sum of 120,000 rupees.
