Synopsis
The recently released trailer showcases Abhishek (Kumar) move to Phullera village for a measly salary of ₹20,000. As he starts settling into his new life and job, he faces many issues like being forced to get involved in the villagers’ personal affairs and live through constant power cuts at night.
After finally having enough of these predicaments, Abhishek’s friend advises him to clear the Commons Admission Test (CAT) in order to get a better job. He’s dedicated and studies late into the night using emergency lights and candles.
He eventually decides to install solar panels in the village but this decision is not met with too much enthusiasm from the rural folk.
