Jolly and focuses on his attempt to earn six innocent wage earners their rights and his journey against the monopolistic behavior of the rich and judicial corruption. The storyline is inspired by the 1999 hit-and-run case of Sanjeev Nanda and a minor reference to Priyadarshini Mattoo case. Plot In 2009, Jagdish "Jolly" Tyagi is a Delhi-based lawyer staying with his brother-in-law Pratap and is in a relationship with Sandhya. He happens to see prominent criminal lawyer Tejinder Rajpal successfully defending Rahul Dewan, a boy from a high society family in a sessions court, who is accused of drunken driving in a Toyota Land Cruiser Prado causing death of six people sleeping on the footpath five months earlier. Jolly, desperate to have some money and fame, decides to pursue the case and files a PIL in the court against Rahul Dewan. Jolly's neighbor Kaul Saab, whose daughter was raped and killed by a politician's son and was defended easily by Rajpal, gifts him his office as a chamber. After initially reprimanding Jolly for his mistakes in filing the PIL and taking the press reports as evidence, Justice Sunderlal Tripathi warns Jolly to collect some evidence before the next hearing. Jolly then runs into Albert Pinto, who claims to have witnessed the accident but soon learns that he is a lackey of Rajpal and was a plan to extract more money from the Dewan family. As part of the deal, Pinto gives Jolly a share of the money and turns hostile in the court. Sandhya and Kaul Saab chide him for compromising on justice for his greed. He returns the money to Rajpal and challenges him to win the case. With Pratap's help, Jolly collects the video footage of the car involved in the accident and presents it to the court. Rajpal counters that the car was driven by the driver of Dewan family and the footage was fake. Jolly refutes it by successfully cross examining the driver, who finally accepts that he has registered a false statement. The Judge orders the police to provide a bodyguard for Jolly after he is manhandled by Rajpal's assistants.
