Although it was not officially acknowledged, the film is based on the 1985 English movie Brewster's Millions which itself was based on the 1902 novel Brewster's Millions by George Barr McCutcheon. At least six films have been made based on the novel, besides a 1906 Broadway play.[1] The film is also known for Sunil Gavaskar, the renowned cricketer, making a guest appearance in the film.[2]
Raj, a small-time cricketer, discovers that his grandfather has left him a property of ₹330 crore. The inheritance comes with the condition that he must spend ₹30 crore in 30 days. Raj has never seen so much money and has no idea how to spend it. He seeks the help of his friend Govinda Sakharam Godbole to so.[3] He has to face opposition from Chander Oberoi (Aditya Pancholi), who is out to ruin Raj and takeover his business.
