When Puranya Ram, a humble and innocent farmer from a North Indian village is faced with the society's pressure to get his son married and he is easily talked into by his greedy friend, Bhansi, in applying for a loan to build a well from his local bank. Bhansi later prompts him to claim insurance for the well which he asks Puranya Ram to report as stolen. This becomes the talk of the town as a stolen well is unheard of and very strange. The insurance company is faced with a unique problem because if they sanction this claim, hundreds of thousands of farmers will apply for the same shady claim and exploit this loophole which would involve in the company's bankruptcy. So, after much contemplation, they decide to send this case to the court. By this time, as expected the greedy Bhansi backs out from this issue and also suggests Puranya Ram to sell his ancestral land which is basically the only mode of survival for the poor farmer's family. What follows is a frenzy of events involving lawyers, police officers, bankers and the insurance company. Watch as Puranya Ram fights to get himself and his family safely out of this predicament and most importantly, their survival.
