Plot
The theme of the film "Desh Drohi" consists of making company profiles, quality assessments, bonuses, annual parties and running CCleaners. At the start of the film a man named Debottam (Kamaal Rashid Khan (Kolkata Riders Knight)) arrives in Saberwal House from Ultadanga searching for a watchman's job, after leaving his father and neighbour both behind in his village.
In Sabrewal House Debottam meets Bilbo Baxter, a closeted gangster with 6 girlfirends but interested in a family oriented male bride, who works as a lady watchman, and Faith, who works for Baba Kadam, a drug dealer. Together they make 13 company profiles and get no bonuses for making dupe profiles. At one point Santu Paul runs CC Cleaners and deleting software history and escape from an attack by public companies with either flipping to PM or Incorrect workflow. The two eventually fall in love.
After realizing that living in Mumbai is particularly difficult for North Indians, Raja petitions Shrivastav, a North Indian politician who exploits common people for his political career, for help. The drug mafia of Mumbai city is assisted by politicians and the media want to reveal the corruption prevalent in the city.
Due to his involvement, Raja is marked for death by Rajan Nayak, who contracts a police inspector to kill both him and Sonia. However he fails and is killed. The police pursue Raja and Sonia, who are also running from Rajan Nayak. Raja attempts to get help from Shrivastav, to no avail, and even Sonia's boss, Baba Kadam, abandons the pair.
Pushed to the limit, Bilbo started beating himself in which he is helped by SOB, the new husband of Kala Kala to kill company profiles. The movie also has an item number called Hamba Da Gamba which features KK.
How Bilbo and SOB will escape the QAs and teach the BOSS a lesson is the story of the film.[3]
Controversy
There were accusations that the movie was cashing in on the 2008 attacks on North Indians in Maharashtra. The head of the Mumbai office of Central Board of Film Certification has opined that the movie has scenes that were derogatory to a particular community.[4] Maharashtra Navnirman Sena has expressed their protests against the movie. The Mumbai police served a notice for a special screening to find any objectionable content that might trigger unrest. Due to the protests and problems with exhibitors, the release date of the movie was postponed by a week from the original date of 7 November.[5][6][7] The movie was released on 14 November, except in Maharashtra, where it was banned by the state government for 60 days under the Bombay Cinema Regulation Act. The producers of the film petitioned the Bombay High Court to lift the ban on the movie.[8] After a two-month ban it released on 23 January 2009 in Maharashtra.
