Under the directions of the Minister for Information and Broadcasting, the Indian Censor Board prepares a list of cuts for Bollywood film producer Vikramjeet's new movie Aane Wala Kal. Vikramjeet is unhappy and decides to meet the minister himself to appeal against these cuts, only to find that the minister favours even more cuts. Vikramjeet shows the movie in a private theatre to an audience from all walks of life, takes their written opinion, and smuggles a copy to America, just in time to ensure that it is nominated for an Oscar. This is where Vikramjeet's troubles start as the Censor Board refuses to grant a U certificate. He is arrested for smuggling the movie without permission from the Reserve Bank of India. The only way he can escape the wrath of the authorities is by getting some fans and stars of his movie to gather some dirt on the Censor Board members and expose them publicly.
