Vijay's father runs a grocery shop and asks Vijay to help out with home deliveries due to pressure from online competitors. Vijay & his friend Peshkar (Bhupesh Pandya) talk to the courtroom attendant to get a ruling in Vijay's favor, but the attendant asks for a Rs 2.5 Lakhs bribe. So, Vijay sets fire to his own father's local convenience shop to claim insurance money that would pay for the bribe and start a proper treatment for his mother. When he gets home, he is told that his dad just sold the shop for Rs 12 Lakhs. The claim will take 40 days to process. But the court date is due the next week and Vijay faces jail if he can't arrange the bribe. So, Vijay takes money from a loan shark Qasim Bhai. The plan works and Vijay is released. But now Vijay has to return Rs 3 Lakhs to Qasim within 2 weeks. Peshkar contacts all contestants of Super Chef and asks for Rs 1 Lakh bribe for a top 10 position. Jugnu is enticed and asks Lampat for the money. Lampat refuses to help, but Kohinoor realizes that Jugnu has a dream and gives him her earned money to pursue his own dream. All of this comes to nothing when police arrives just when Jugnu is handing the money to Peshkar. Peshkar's arrest leads to Vijay's arrest in the insurance fraud case. Jaitun leaves for Mumbai without Bulbul. Jugnu is dropped at his home by the police & joins his dad on stage. Eventually Vijay is hired by Qasim Bhai to become his lawyer on retainer.
