Jagte Raho plot
Hoping to improve his lifestyle, a poor peasant moves to Calcutta virtually broke. It is late at night and he is thirsty, but he cannot find water anywhere. A singing drunk offers him money to buy some alcohol, but the money is taken by a taxi driver. In desperation, the farmer tries to drink from a fire hydrant. However, he is stopped by a police officer. Then he sneaks into a multi-storey apartment complex and is mistaken for a thief. The entire building, which consists of more than 200 units and in which almost 1000 people live, is on the hunt for him.
