The story
Jeevan is drowning in debt and out of ideas. Then he runs into Bheema, a man who looks exactly like him but lives in a far more dangerous world. Jeevan and his wife Yojana come up with a plan that uses Bheema's identity and a life-insurance payout to fix their money problems. The scheme gets out of hand once they learn that Bheema is tied up with diamond smugglers and the criminals who want them back.
Spoiler-free: only the set-up.
Who it suits
For fans of Arshad Warsi's comic timing and mix-up comedies in the *Hera Pheri* mould. It is rated U/A and runs about two hours, with crime and crude gags, so it is better for teens and adults.
