Jagdish Tyagi aka
"Jolly" ( Arshad Warsi ) is a struggling lawyer of Meerut, who not only disappoints
himself, but his girlfriend
Sandhya ( Amrita Rao ). He decides to shift his base to Delhi, where a brother in law of his lives, in hope of better
clientele. At the same time, a
hit-and-run case takes place in
Delhi where a Toyota Land Cruiser being driven by Rahul Dewan, tramples 6 workers
sleeping on the footpath.
Rahul Dewan belongs to a
wealthy and popular family,
who hire one of India's most
popular lawyers Tejinder Rajpal to get him bail. Rajpal
smashes all arguments of the
opposition lawyers in the
court and Rahul Dewan is
released due to lack of
evidence. Rajpal is paid 30 lakh (US$55,000) as fees which does not satisfy him as
he wanted more. Jolly takes a stand and fights
for justice for the 6 innocents
who were killed by Rahul. He
decides to file a Public Interest
Litigation. A man named
Albert Pinto meets Jolly and claims himself as an eye-
witness of the accident. Pinto
agrees to become a witness in
the court. On the next court
date Pinto tells the court that
he was present at the spot at the time of accident and he
can identify the person who
committed it. The judge
orders to bring Rahul Dewan
to court on the next court
date. The case, Jolly and specially Pinto start getting
media attention. Jolly goes to Meerut on a
weekend and asks Sandhya to
come to Delhi to attend the
hearing in court. But, just one
day before the day of hearing
Pinto meets Jolly and tells that Rajpal has collected 2 crore (US$370,000) from Dewans
mentioning it the required
amount to purchase the
witness. He then reveals that
actually he is a worker of
Rajpal, and his appearance as an eye-witness was just a
plan of Rajpal, as Rajpal
wanted to get more money
from the Dewans. Pinto warns
Jolly that on the next hearing
he would not identify Rahul following Rajpal's plans and
offers Jolly 20 lakh (US $37,000) and asks him to co-
operate by not doing any
objections. Jolly gets shocked and agrees
to it. On the next court date
when Rahul Dewan is called,
Pinto mentions that he was
not the person whom he saw
at that night. Jolly's girlfriend curses him for this act and
leaves him. He is also cursed
by Kaul Sahab (the elderly
canteen owner). Jolly starts
feeling guilty and decides to
fight the case sincerely. His journey against one of the
strongest lawyers of the
country begins.
