(ENCORE PRESENTATION)

Autorickshaw driver Amal is content with the small, but vital role he serves, driving customers around New Delhi as quickly and safely as possible. But his sense of duty is tested by an eccentric, aging billionaire, who, moved by Amal's humility, bequeaths him his entire estate before passing away. With only one month to discover and claim the inheritance, Amal's struggles with duty and wealth are threatened by all those around him. From a young, injured beggar-girl and a lovely store merchant to the danger of the old man's upper-caste friends and siblings, everyone seeks to claim their share of the riches.
