The first film ended with Fanindra Timilsina (Bipin Karki), Joyes (Rabindra Singh Baniya), and Munna (Rabindra Jha) being arrested for possessing a bag full of counterfeit money. In the sequel, they’ve been found innocent and released from custody after two years. But finding a job is difficult out in the real world. Munna is kicked out of his barber shop; Joyes cannot find the love of his life and somehow ends up in a job delivering oxygen tanks; and Fanindra needs to find a better life for his wife Sampada (Barsha Raut) and son Iman (Arbein Khadka). Fanindra tries different jobs, finally ending up as a taxi driver to a Brahmin sahu (Rajaram Paudel).

One day, Fanindra’s taxi is ransacked by goons while driving a rowdy customer, Dawa (Daya Hang Rai). The gangsters kidnap Dawa but a crateful of chicken that Dawa was carrying is left behind. These chicken turn out to be hiding gold biscuits.

Fanindra decides he wants to keep the gold, but the goons are obviously looking for it. So Fanindra and his friends must now protect the gold and themselves.
