Story:
Life is beautiful for Munna and his ‘dadagiri’ business is flourishing, he listens besottedly to the radio for hours every day and dreams of marrying Jhanvi. What Munna wants, Circuit gets… be it settling disputes, giving romantic advice or sourcing hakka-noodles at midnight.
Even Munna’s successful ‘dadagiri’ methods are tested when love takes him for an unexpected historical tour. Beautiful and vivacious, Jhanvi is bowled over by Munna’s rustic charm. She trusts him implicitly and that is where all the trouble starts.
The trouble starts when Jhanvi, thinking that Munna is a ‘Professor of History’ and in all her innocence, invites him to give a history lecture to her family. Poor Munna! What should he do? As Munna tries to sort out this minor entanglement in his otherwise perfect life, Circuit comes up with a bright solution.
And then, the most unusual thing occurs in Munna’s life…. What happens when the ‘Present’ meets the ‘Past’? What happens when our very own ‘Professor of History’ encounters a ‘Figure from History’?
