As if that were not enough, Roy finds out that he has a tumor and is going to die in less than three months. An amateur conman named Dittu (Ritesh Deshmukh) enters his life. He learns from Dittu that a man named Chandrakant Parekh aka Chandru (Nana Patekar) had duped Dittu's father and countless other of their life savings.
Chandru is a whimsical, irate, and ruthless man, who will not hesitate in resorting to violence even on the slightest pretext. Before dying, Roy decides to do one good deed for Dittu, which is conning Chandru off all his stolen money & wealth. However, whilst planning the biggest con of his life, the stages of his tumor begin to start. Roy is now between devil and the deep sea. Can the greatest conman con death itself?
