Meghna Sengupta, who is a correspondent working at a news channel in New Delhi, receives a videotape from a remote place in Madhya Pradesh, Anuppur. In the tape, a battered young man claiming to be the real Mohan Das alleges that someone else has stolen his identity. Someone else is living as Mohan Das.
Confused by what looks like an unusual small-town scam, Meghna goes to Anuppur and discovers a more traumatic and odd story. Mohan Das is a topper in studies from the poor community of basket-weavers and is overjoyed when he is selected for a good white-collar post at the Oriental Coal Mines. But he is kept waiting for a long period of time to actually get the job. Afterwards, when he has given up hope, he learns that someone else has already taken up his job pretending to be him. When he protests, he is beaten up and thrown out.
Meghna places this story in the media. Harshvardhan, a lawyer from the district, takes this case of stolen identity to court with the intention of hauling up the usurper.
More odd results, irony and spoof run as undercurrents, as the film reveals the absurd levels to which democratic institutions can be manipulated today. It is also an allegory of how a fake identity displaces the real one in contemporary times and depicts the common man of Gandhiji.
