Plot[edit]
Babloo is a middle-class guy living with his wife, Janki and son, Bhuvan. After the same morning routine, Bhuvan takes an auto to his college but is disturbed by his father when he takes the same auto. Bhuvan gets late for his singing audition but gets a little extra time as sympathy. When he checks his guitar, the battery is missing as his father took it. In the office, his father is called by the boss. He visits his office and his boss tells him that he got a promotion but his salary will be less as he was late. When all things are turning negative, Babloo buys a lottery ticket and surprisingly wins. However, things do not go as planned when he gets into an accident and loses his memory. Bhuvan, the son of Babloo, now starts to look for the guy behind the accident. He, with his friends go to the crime scene and ask a shopkeeper about the accident. However, the killer secretly bribes the shopkeeper and tells him to give no information about the accident. Disappointed, they sit down on a bench but then Detective Mangloo shows up and tells them that the killer is right besides them. Bhuvan, along with his 2 friends starts to chase the guy. The killer is caught by Sameer (Bhuvan's friend), forcing him to unmask himself. Bhuvan is shocked upon realizing that the killer is none other than his uncle, Titu.
Flashback[edit]
Titu is talking to his wife Kavita when he accidentally hits someone. When he stops the car, he finds out that he hit his brother in law.
Present Time[edit]
He tells all this to his sister but his unforgiving sister tells him to get out and never show his bloody face again. Titu leaves with his teary eyes. As soon as he leaves, all the neighbors surround the area and are treating Babloo like a V.I.P. They also said that they would make a big statue for Babloo because of their greed. Later, Titu and Bhuvan with his friends are in a bar where Titu is crying and explaining Bhuvan that it was not his mistake. Bhuvan's friend, Bhancho gets a message and then suddenly Detective Mangloo shows up. After asking for 20 INR, he sends Bhancho a video. It is a footage of the camera of the same road where the accident happened. They see that Hola (Babloo's enemy) pushed him after getting to know that he won a lottery. Titu after seeing this gets angry and asks Bhancho and Sameer (Bhuvan's friend) to come with him. They take some weapons and secretly enter Hola's house. They hit him on his head making him faint. After he regains his consciousness, they tell him to shoot a video accepting what he did. After getting beaten up by the group, he finally shoots the video. Titu shows his sister, Janki the video and everything is settled but then Bhuvan overhears his father talking to girl and realizing that he faked his memory loss.
Flashback[edit]
Babloo regains his consciousness and secretly goes to the bathroom. Over there, he dials the number of the lottery shop and tells the shopkeeper the number written on the lottery. The shopkeeper congratulates Babloo for winning a fridge. Babloo in refusal says that he won 11 crore INR. The shopkeeper tells him that lottery ticket containing prize money 11 crore INR has the number 0 in the start. Babloo without realizing, says
"Yeah, but we don't count the value of zero."
The shopkeeper curses him and tells him to cut the phone. Upon realizing he had not won the lottery but told his wife about winning. He pretended to have a memory loss.
