Set in the small town of Rampur, the plot centers around two rival thieves—Tarik Pandey (Anshuman Pushkar), a crafty local burglar; and Maddy Kapoor (Samir Kochhar), a slick con artist from Delhi. Their rivalry intensifies when they become entangled in a competition to win over Chandini (Nidhi Singh). She playfully sets a bizarre challenge: whoever executes the more audacious heist earns her favor.IMDb+3Pratidin+3Indiatimes+3
While romantic intrigue propels the primary conflict, the stakes escalate when all parties—including a local gangster and his reticent son—compete to steal a mysterious piece of the Moon that has inexplicably landed on Earth. This absurd premise sets the tone for situational comedy, ensemble crossfire, and chase sequences laced with wry social observation.The Times of India+2Pratidin+2The Times of India+2
The supporting cast—including Sheeba Chaddha, Geetanjali Kulkarni, and Neha Chauhan—adds texture to the narrative, portraying engaged townspeople, exasperated law enforcement, and foils to the main duo.PratidinIndiatimes
