Set in the rural village of Bhatkandi, the plot revolves around Chetak Kumar (Vinay Pathak), a self-taught healer trusted deeply by the local residents, who rely on him for medical treatment.
However, when a qualified doctor, Prabhat Sinha, is appointed to the village, he discovers the local hospital in a state of neglect. He undertakes its restoration, but the villagers remain devoted to Chetak Kumar.
Prabhat Sinha attempts to spread word of the hospital's reopening and invites villagers for proper treatment, but they largely ignore him. That is, until an unexpected event turns his world upside down.
