Set in the middle-class landscape of 1990s Mumbai, the story follows (Shahid Kapoor), an ambitious young man who dreams of a life far beyond his father's modest means. Frustrated by a system that rewards corruption and punishes honesty, Karan decides to beat the system at its own game.
Along with his friends— (Meiyang Chang), Chandu (Vir Das), and his love interest Bulbul (Anushka Sharma)—he hatches a brilliant scam. They exploit a loophole in the import-export laws regarding customs duties. By importing goods as "scrap" or misdeclared items and clearing them through a corrupt customs officer, they sell the products on the black market for massive profits. badmash company film
