Set in the 1980s, the film follows (Gippy Grewal), a struggling singer, and his musical group. Frustrated by their lack of success, they rely on shortcuts and "jugaad" until they find success with a new duet singer, Sohni (Neeru Bajwa). The group travels to London, where they win a massive lottery but promptly lose the winning ticket. The rest of the story follows their frantic search and the moral lessons they learn about hard work versus easy shortcuts. Critical Reception
