Plot Summary

Raje Bauji (Sanjay Mishra) is a man in his late fifties, living out a dreary but eventful life in a small house in old Delhi, where he lives with his extended family. A random incident is going to change his life in a dramatic way, though he does not realize at the moment. Bauji's daughter has been seeing a boy of ill repute. When that fact is revealed to the family, after much deliberation they decide to do the obvious, lock up the girl and go beat the willful boy. But things don't quite turn out the way they were supposed to, and Bauji has an epiphany. He takes a tough call and decides that he would never believe what he has not learnt through his own experience. The only truth for him would be the truth of his life, the truth that has passed through the verifier of his senses. He takes on the difficult journey, where he would be called a mad man, a saint or most often, just a fool. All of it, but he is steadfast on his path. It is a funny old journey of this man, this old fool, who is both Lear and the fool...
