- An unwilling Abhishek Tripathi reaches Phulera to join as panchayat secretary of the village panchayat office. However, his first day at work turns out to be far worse than what he imagined.
- Abhishek Tripathi (Jitendra Kumar) is a fresh engineering graduate who does not get placed in his final year. With only a job offer of a panchayat secretary (which pays Rs 20,000 per month), he tries to give it a shot as there is no other option left after graduating. Prateek (Biswapati Sarkar), Abhishek's friend advises him to take the job as at least it is an interesting profile and that Abhishek is getting a chance to be the Mohan Bhargava from Swades. He reaches Phulera (District Baliya, UP) and meets the former village sarpanch Brij Bhushan Dubey (Raghubir Yadav) (Pradhan-Pati) (husband of the current village sarpanch Manju Devi Dubey (Neena Gupta), Pradhan), the deputy sarpanch Prahladchand "Prahlad" Pandey (Faisal Malik), Upa-Pradhan and his assistant Vikas (Chandan Roy). Manju was elected pradhan when the Govt reserved the seat for women. So, Brij Bhushan, who was the incumbent, got his wife elected from the seat. He runs the show in the village. Brij Bhushan is a super casual guy and doesn't take his job or his responsibilities seriously.
When Abhishek reaches Phulera, the doors of the panchayat office are locked and the keys missing (Brij Bhushan dropped it somewhere when he was going to defecate in the fields). Brij Bhushan takes Abhishek and Vikas back to the same place where he defecated, to search for the keys. Prahlad refuses to come as he hates to walk. Brij Bhushan uses his position to buy the farmers fields, when they are in distress and in need for money. The trio look for the keys for several hours. Abhishek sees first hand how Brij has basically ignored the village's development.
When unsuccessful, Brij orders Vikas to bring the village locksmith to help. Vikas wants Abhishek's bike as the village is an hr away. Abhishek doesn't want to give the bike and suggests that they break the lock. Brij objects as the lock belongs to his wife. Manju is a strict wife and always admonishes Brij on his mistakes. Brij wants to invite Abhishek to his home for dinner, but Manju torpedoes the idea. Rinky (Sanvikaa) is Brij and Manju's daughter. While Vikas is gone, Abhishek tours the village. At the local shop, one villager approaches Abhishek and begs him to clear his MNEGRA dues from the panchayat office (of Rs 525), as he doesn't even have money for the basic groceries. Vikas returns without the locksmith, as the locksmith's wife went into labor. Brij convinces Manju to let them break the lock by saying that if the office is not opened, Abhishek will have to stay at their house. She is afraid, since Rinki is now an adult and she doesn't want Rinki to interact with strange men. But she agrees to host Abhishek for dinner.
By the time the doors are opened (blown from the frame), the situation inside the office room turns him down. the room is in a bad condition. Its a store room for the panchayat office, with many official file records. Super dusty. A computer and a printer are the only saving grace. Abhishek decides that he needs to switch his job at the earliest and the only way to do so is by cracking CAT (Common Admission Test) and taking admission in one of the IIMs. Prateek tells Abhishek that his Panchayat experience will help with his IIM interviews.
