[6] The film received mixed reviews from critics, and became a huge box-office bomb, earning only ₹23.63 crore (US$2.7 million) worldwide.

[7] Om Prakash Aggarwal, a Motor Vehicle Inspector (MVI) based in Bhopal, is a passionate fan of film actor Vijay Kumar.

With the climax still remaining to be shot at an Indian Navy leased land, the crew learns that Vijay's driving licence, that needs to be submitted to get clearance, is missing.

On his arrival, he sees TV channels surrounding the premises; amidst this, local corporator Vimla Tiwari gives away misinformation to a reporter that Vijay, an avid driver, has been driving without a licence.

Vijay's reputation has been severely damaged and to worsen the situation, Suraj's fandom community head organises a hit-and-run attack on Om.

Addressing the media, Vijay states that Om is a crazy fan and a kind of stalker who finds gratification by being a part of his idol's life through disruption.

On the practical assessment day, Vijay smoothly completes the "H test", but Om fails him pointing out petty mistakes.
