Story…. It is the year 2016, Jagdishwar “Jolly” Mishra (Akshay Kumar) is a Lucknow based lawyer, who stays with his wife Pushpa (Huma Qureshi) and son. Despite being a lawyer, he works as a menial assistant to one of the most famous lawyers of Lucknow, Mr. Rizvi, for whom his father had worked as an assistant for 30 years. He is street smart and dreams of his own law practice. To arrange money for his own chamber, Jolly lies to a widow, Hina Qasim, telling her that Mr. Rizvi will take her case and that the fee is 200,000 rupees. When Hina finds out that she had been lied to by Jolly, she commits suicide. Jolly soon discovers that Hina’s husband Iqbal Qasim was killed in a fake encounter on 13 August 2015, the very next day of their marriage by Inspector Suryaveer Singh, who depicted him as Mohammed Iqbal Quadri, a terrorist in official documents. Singh also shot a fellow constable, Bhadouria, in order to show the encounter as genuine, leading to his death. Source
