After their father dies, two brothers decide to fulfil one unusual request written in their father’s will: he wishes to donate his body to a medical college after the cremation. What seems like a straightforward task becomes a comical night filled with confusion and chaos. The brothers misinterpret their father's last letter in their grief and rush to perform what they believe is the proper ritual; as a result, they create layers of misunderstandings in the village and Indian society. The brothers are carrying the remains of their father from place to place, hoping to donate his body, but things become more complicated.

Reports spread, tempers flare, and even local authorities are uncertain about the happenings. The brothers reflect on their father's life, values and what it means to truly pay respect to someone after their death. With the assistance of close friends and interaction with unexpected sources, they finally learn the real meaning their father wanted to convey. In the end, they finally fulfil his request in the way it is intended. The film wraps up on a soul-warming note, and shows us how we spread love and joy, with a dash of craziness, in a family and even a village.
