Plot

A barber seeks vengeance after his home is burglarized, cryptically telling police his "Lakshmi" has been taken, leaving them uncertain if it's a person or object, jeer at his request until they learn what they're really looking for.

A simple and soft spoken barber in a small town reports the theft of Lakshmi ( his dustbin) to the police. Initially they are angry and amused and take it lightly but when he keeps insisting they start an investigation which throws up a number of suspects. Things however are not what they seem and the probe gets more and more complicated over time.
