Plot Overview: A Desperate "Venture"
The story is set in the fictional village of Peepli, where two impoverished brothers, Natha (played by Omkar Das Manikpuri) and Budhia (Raghubir Yadav), are on the verge of losing their land due to an unpaid bank loan. Desperate for a solution, they approach a local politician who sarcastically suggests that Natha commit suicide to take advantage of a government scheme that provides compensation to the families of deceased indebted farmers.

Soon, high-profile media outlets and opportunistic politicians descend upon the sleepy village, turning Natha’s life into a "live" countdown for TRPs.
