It is a comedy science fiction movie where four people living in 2018 travel back in time to 1955. Nav (Nav Bajwa) – an IT expert, Sukhi (Gurpreet Ghuggi) – a mechanic, and Hem Chand Lamba (B. N. Sharma) – a lab technician, are living as tenants in Chandigarh. Their landlady is Jasmeen (Satinder Satti). Sukhi and Hem Chand do not pay rent regularly; she warns them either to pay rent or vacate. Nav has invented a machine which he calls Raduaa and earns money with it.^[how?] Sukhi's relationship with his wife, who had high dreams, is strained. She leaves him along with her son and asks him to pay 15 lacs if he want to meet his son. Sukhi tries to steal the money but is caught. Nav and Hem Chand try to help him by intercepting a call of drug dealers through his Raduaa. The three impersonate drug dealers and go to an agreed location for the deal, but the police arrive and the three of them are caught. However, when the police find that they are not carrying drugs, they are released. Nav thinks that someone is hearing their calls and thinks that Raduaa is not working properly. While trying to repair it, Jasmeen comes. In the commotion Hem Chand accidentally throws the beaker, containing a green chemical; there are electric shocks and the four travel back to 1955 where they appear in a village. The villagers look at them with suspicion. The sarpanch of the village gives them refuge and they work together to return to 2018. Whether they succeed in returning or something more mysterious is in wait is to be seen.
