Bijay, with his friend Shankar, reaches the hospital and pretends to be a doctor to Priya trying to gently woo her. After some hilarious situations, Priya realizes Bijay's true identity, but soon finds his antics adorable, forgives him, and also reciprocates his feelings. One day riding through the streets, Bijay gets into a tussle with a few goons and is arrested. Later, he discovers that the goons are the henchmen of an Underworld King named Master. Bijay, hiding behind a chair, requests the police officer not to reveal him to Master. After being released from the police station, Bijay finds a mobile phone which had accidentally fallen from Master's pocket. Master gets a call from his mobile phone and the unknown caller offers to return the phone. But Bijay, who is the unknown caller demands money for it. Master tries all means to get the phone from Bijay, containing a video starring Police Commissioner Dibakar Saha by which he could blackmail the commissioner to hide the files of Master from everyone. On the other hand, Bijay extracts money from Master by doing various things(such as kidnapping Master's brother, etc.). The twist in this cat-and-mouse game comes in the form of Trisha, who wants Master to be killed due to some reason.
