Bachchan (2014 film)

Bacchu a.k.a. Bijay is a die-hard fan of Amitabh Bachchan, who kept the latter's name Vijay (from the films Deewar and Coolie) and also adopted the surname of the legend. Bijay is the son of a washerman Ramesh, who doesn't want to be like his father, but dreams of earning a million bucks. He has an astrologer friend Shankar who predicts his future and tells him that his fortunes would change. While delivering the clothes washed and ironed by his father, to a retired Colonel, he falls in love with the latter's younger daughter Priya. Bijay finds out that Priya was set to meet Dr.Partho Sarathi Chatterjee, a suitor as instructed by her father. Bijay, with his friend Shankar, reaches the hospital and pretends to be a doctor to Priya trying to gently woo her. After some hilarious situations, Priya realizes Bijay's true identity, but soon finds his antics adorable, forgives him, and also reciprocates his feelings. One day riding through the streets, Bijay gets into a tussle with a few goons and is arrested. Later, he discovers that the goons are the henchmen of an Underworld King named Master. Bijay, hiding behind a chair, requests the police officer not to reveal him to Master. After being released from the police station, Bijay finds a mobile phone which had accidentally fallen from Master's pocket. Master gets a call from his mobile phone and the unknown caller offers to return the phone. But Bijay, who is the unknown caller demands money for it. Master tries all means to get the phone from Bijay, containing a video starring Police Commissioner Dibakar Saha by which he could blackmail the commissioner to hide the files of Master from everyone. On the other hand, Bijay extracts money from Master by doing various things(such as kidnapping Master's brother, etc.). The twist in this cat-and-mouse game comes in the form of Trisha, who wants Master to be killed due to some reason. The rest of the film discloses the secrets regarding the video of the cellphone, the reasons why Trisha wants Master to be killed, and at last what Bijay does after hearing the secrets disclosed by Trisha.
