[2][3] Starring Pankaj Kapur, Deven Bhojani, Asawari Joshi, Sanjay Mishra and others, who also featured in the TV sitcom.

[2] Retired schoolmaster Mussaddi Lal Tripathi, the quintessential "Common Man" troubled by his wife's serious illness, takes her to the hospital, where the utter negligence and vested interests of the doctors result in her untimely death.

Mussaddi then, along with his young, unemployed, drifter son, Bunty (Gaurav Kapoor), sets out for his pilgrimage to the four holy sites for the immersion of his wife's ashes.

He tries his heart out to make the pension office staff believe that he is alive, but they are not convinced at all as they want proper proof.

Mussaddi Lal, bemused and dejected by the irony of the situation, sets out on his mission to gather proof that he is alive, while the Pension Office employees resolve that whatever proof Mussaddi brings, they will not allow him to be officially alive since they have already mopped up his pension money.
