Storyline
Laholi is a small village in India whose inhabitants are poor, simple-minded, and are used to their lives being controlled by the dictatorial Landlord, Thakurain, and her brother, Baj Bahadur.

He decides to make a living selling lottery tickets, especially the Delhi-based Malamaal Weekly, but is barely able to make ends meet. Then one day he finds out that one of his lottery tickets is a winner. He concocts a scheme with his wife, which involves pawning her pet goat with the Thakurain, getting people together for a feast, so that he can get their tickets back - all in vain. Then he finds out that the only one who was absent was the town drunk, Anthony Fernandes. When he goes to Anthony's house he finds him dead, happily clutching his winning lottery ticket. When Lilaram tries to take the ticket from Anthony's hand, another villager, Balwant, happens to come by, both of them ... Written by rAjOo (gunwanti@hotmail.com)

For some reason I think this probably violates some sort of copy-write law. This is the exact same plot line as an Irish movie made in 1998 called Waking Ned Divine.
Similarities such as holding a dinner to find the winner; discovering the actual winner has died from shock after discovering he's won; and bringing the town together to trick the lottery official. The similarities in plot line and characters are too close to be coincidence.
Watch Ned Divine before calling this movie hilarious and original. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0166396/
