Spoilers ahead
Sunder Srivastava, Shah Rukh Khan, is a young graduate with a clear, almost stubborn dream: to build a school on his father’s half-acre plot in the village. But the funds to turn that dream into reality are nowhere to be found, and the clock of opportunity seems to be ticking down every day. In this moment of despair, his childhood friend Prem, Avinash Kharshikar, a seasoned conman from Mumbai, convinces him to part with his money in exchange for the right to mortgage the land. The plan is supposed to be simple, almost innocent, but it seethes with the arrogance of a man who believes he can outwit fate.
