Plot

A man chooses an old widower's home for his first robbery, kicking off a set of events that have them both look at life in a new way and with new companions in the starkness of the city of Mumbai.

V.S. Kamath, a solitary widower trapped in a rigid routine, is jolted out of his comfort zone when his Mumbai apartment is burgled. Unnerved by the police's remarks on his isolation, he embarks on a quest for connection, striking up awkward conversations with strangers. His path crosses Prakash Handa, a vivacious Punjabi woman, and his curiosity compels him to follow her. This chance encounter lands them both in the police station, victims of another robbery, where their awkwardness blossoms into an unlikely friendship.

United by their shared vulnerability and newfound companionship, Kamath and Handa forge a delightful bond. They embark on small adventures, venturing into empty houses with a childlike sense of mischief. Their escapades take an unexpected turn when they stumble upon the thief who wronged them, setting in motion a chain of events that intertwine their seemingly separate lives.

In a parallel track, we see the story of Madahosh "Nanhe" Gupta - a poor tailor who has come to Mumbai to make a living. Unable to make ends meet, he takes on big orders from Bimla "Bilkis", a dancer, without having the equipment to stitch the clothes. He takes a loan from a local loan shark to set up a small shop but does not earn enough to pay him back. Desperate for money, he burgles the houses of old people, including Kamath and Handa. He also falls in love with a beggar, Rani, who reciprocates his feelings.

In a series of comical confrontations and heartwarming moments, Kamath, Handa, and Nanhe navigate the unpredictable twists of fate, each rediscovering their inner strength and resilience. Their journey not only exposes the vulnerabilities of urban life but also celebrates the transformative power of human connection, proving that life, even in its later chapters, can be full of adventure and joy.
