The shooting of director duo Abhijit Guha and Sudeshna Roy’s film”Jai Kali Kalkattawali” was in progress in different parts of Kolkata.

The story is about a small but beautifully crafted gold idol of goddess Kali that gets stolen from a temple on the outskirts of the city. This was accomplished by taking the help of security personnel and a greedy trustee’s son. The son while trying to sell the idol gets embroiled in trouble between two warring factions. He hides it, and the statue gets misplaced from the hiding place. As a result, a search is on for this statue.

Anish, Sujay, and Mili are three friends living in Kolkata. Anish is educated but unable to get a job. Sujay is from a lower middle-class background. He dreams of setting up a business but has no money or connection. Mili is a young girl who has come to the city to become an actress. But she has no connections so she finds it difficult to get an acting offer. The three failures in life get together and they find solace in each other’s troubles. They decide to work together to earn money and how- by cheating people.

While escaping from a particularly sticky situation Anish jumps onto a scooty parked on the road. It’s a brand new scooty that belongs to Raka a young dance teacher. Raka reports it to the police. But then she meets Anish on the scooty. She stops him and he lies that he is a police officer. He had found a bomb in it, which he had detonated. This gesture of Anish impresses Raka and thus starts a romance, full of lies on Anish’s part.

Through a strange quirk of fate, Raka comes across the Kali image and brings it to Anish as he is a police officer to her. What happens next?
