Year 2021 – Ramesh, a lower-middle class, middle-aged man, works as a gopher (peon) for the affluent and arrogant real estate tycoon Mr. Hemlaani’s passion project – an ad agency. Hemlaani is in the process of producing his dream film which is being developed by Damini, a young yet experienced screenwriter. The story of this dream film revolves
around Ramdeen, an honest and hardworking tailor from a small Indian village in the year 1965 who is hired by Laalaji, the wealthiest man in the village, to stitch Diwali clothes for his family.
The film then alternates between Ramdeen’s life then versus Ramesh’s life now. While a timid and frustrated Ramesh is overworked but underpaid and unappreciated, Ramdeen is a polite, gullible man. How these economically and socially oppressed men are constantly taken advantage of by their bosses and how after relentless humiliation they both finally take a bold stand is what forms the crux of this hard-hitting
social drama.
