The film revolves around three main characters: Harphool Singh Mandola, known as Harry (Pankaj Kapur), his ambitious daughter Bijlee Mandola (Anushka Sharma), and Hukum Singh Matru (Imran Khan), often referred to simply as Matru.
Harry is a wealthy businessman with grand dreams of transforming Mandola village—named after his family—into a beacon of success and a hub of economic growth.
