Hasmukh Sudiya lives in the small town of Saharanpur in Uttar Pradesh, India. An orphan, he lives with his physically abusive uncle and his aunt who sexually harass him, which is rather disconcertingly indicated as humor. Gulati is Hasmukh's disgusting mentor, who constantly bullies and belittles him. When Gulati goes back on his word to give Hasmukh a chance to stand on stage, it leads to an ugly showdown and Hasmukh breaks down, killing Gulati in self-defense. The murder gives Hasmukh the confidence and adrenaline rush he needs to overcome his stutter and lack of confidence before impressing the audience with his charm and daring jokes.
