India is a land of a billion people, 60 percent of which are living over 500,000 villages spread around the country.

The film deals with a month in the life of Kanji (Abhishek Bachchan), whose innocent gift to his grandfather's recently electrified village, sparks a power struggle and ends up with laugh out loud humor. The modern world takes over the lives of these villagers, which had been alien to them so far.

This film is about the old and the new, rural and the post-modern. At the core of the film is a simple drama of the heart, enriched with acute observations of village psychology, an accurate portrayal of hte little-known aspects of Indian Culture.

KC (Lara Dutta) is the daughter of the Thakur. A romance soon blossoms between her and Kanji amidst the tensions of village modernisation.
