The comedy revolves around a person who comes to the Upper lake in Bhopal every day for fishing. He comments on things around him and expresses his outspoken opinions on social issues. The story unfolds layer by layer and starts connecting with the common man, where this person goes on presenting the society and the mentality of the people in a very interesting way.
