Plot

Sometime after the Government of Delhi gives a store named "Janta Store" to Hunny, Choocha Lali, and Pandit, ^[a] the store is now in shambles and the Fukras are earning by doing small jobs. Meanwhile, Bholi Punjaban wants to stand in election for Water Section of Delhi and is backed by water supplier Dhingra, a corrupt businessman who also owns a waterpark. Bholi cleans a public toilet to gain the attention of poor people, but a small deed by Choocha at the same spot, wins the people's hearts.

In one of her rallies, Bholi mentions eradication of water mafia in Delhi and free water for public, but Dhingra wants to control the entire water facilitation of Delhi and is backing Bholi for the same reason. Hunny, Pandit, and Lali decide to contest Choocha in the election as he is gaining public attention due to his antics. However, Choocha blurts out the plan to Bholi, who decides a counter plan to send Choocha and the Fukras to South Africa with her two bodyguards, Eddie and Bobby, to Shinda's Diamond mine in the Eastern Cape. Choocha is offered money to use his Deja-Chu on the mine to find diamonds in the mine. Shinda's niece Mombasa falls in love with Choocha in South Africa, oblivious that Choocha only has eyes for Bholi. 10 days later, Choocha does not get Deja-Chu, where Hunny realizes Bholi's plan and decides to escape from South Africa.

Choocha has a Deja-Chu at the moment and decides to dig at the spot, where the group find a diamond and are caught by Mombasa. By mistake, Choocha, who had hid the diamond in his mouth, ingests the diamond after hearing Mombasa's deal of letting the group go in exchange for the diamond and her marrying Choocha, and following death threats from zama zamas, all four of them escape to an abandoned amusement park. While spending the night there, Choocha and Hunny face a dangerous electric shock after Choocha grabs an exposed wire in his sleep and are severely dehydrated. Pandit and Lali revive them with water and Choocha urinates in a small bowl. Hunny is sweating profusely and Pandit cleans him up in the same bowl. Lali discards the bowl's contents in a pit. When Pandit lights a cigarette and throws the matchstick in the pit, it combusts creating a small flame. The next morning, they once again try creating the same mixture and it combusts again, meaning hydrogen from Hunny's sweat and carbon from Choocha's diamond ingested urine are creating a fuel-like substance. Pandit takes a video of the miracle.

They return to India and Choocha now once again participates in the election by promising cheap fuel to everyone, winning the public's support. Bholi devises a plan to fake her marriage with Bobby in Choocha's presence, but Choocha blurts out his new god given gift to Bholi. Bholi marries Choocha instead and sends the pictures of their marriage to the Fukras. Choocha gets kidnapped by Dhingra's goons soon after. Shinda also comes to India to retrieve his diamond and marry Mombasa to Choocha. The next day, thinking Bholi kidnapped Choocha, Hunny and the others confront Bholi, who puts forward a deal wherein they get equal partnership and profits and Bholi backs out of the election. Dhingra notices something fishy, and attempts to kill Choocha, but Bholi saves him by giving up Choocha's gift to Dhingra.

Dhingra wants proof of the thing and gets all the Fukras together and sees Pandit's video. He stops the water supply to entire Delhi and decides to give water in abundance to produce cheap fuel. This water shortage leads to a fight between Dhingra's men and the poor people which leads to Dhingra's men driving a truck over a poor school student. This news is covered sensationally and it leads to the Fukras deciding to move against Dhingra. Eddie is also moved by the incident and decides to support the Fukras and makes sure Bobby supports them too. They go against Dhingra, who captures them all. He suspends Pandit and Lali over a crocodile infested water pool, Hunny in a knight suit so he sweats profusely and Bholi and Choocha on ice blocks while being hung, to make Choocha urinate.

It is revealed that when Eddie's heart had changed, he helped the Fukras record a video revealing Dhingra's real plan and their location of capture. The crowd breaks through the water park and stomp over Dhingra and saves the rest of the Fukras. Mombasa confesses her one sided love for Choocha. Hunny and Pandit still save a dying Dhingra by getting water for him. Choocha wins the election by a landslide, but his marriage with Bholi is not accepted at Choocha's home. The Fuel Minister of Bangalore calls the Fukras to Bangalore, but when they arrive, Choocha's pee and Hunny's sweat do not turn into petrol; Choocha hadn't taken a dump since South Africa and did so in the flight to Bangalore, upon his excretion, Zafar, who is in Goa, finds the diamond which dropped from the Fukras' flight. The film ends with Choocha getting chased by everybody.
