- A gang of innocent but feisty kids who lead carefree lives in Chandan Nagar colony takes on the big bad world of politics when one of their friend's life is endangered.
- When an employee of Mumbai's Chandan Nagar leaves, he is replaced by a youth, Fatka, who has a stray dog, Bhidu (a.k.a. Buddy). There is no accommodation provided for this homeless orphan, so he and his pet decide to make an abandoned antique car their new home. There is some resentment from the children of the building, but Fatka gets accepted in the cricket team after he demonstrates his bowling capabilities. A chance visit by a politician, Shashikant Bhide, results in enforcement of new municipal legislation to capture all stray dogs, and the children decide to oppose it. Their attempt to secure 31 signatures from residents turns out to be in vain, and they decide to launch a unique protest. Shashikant puts pressure on Chandan Nagar's Secretary, Tandon, as well as launches his own campaign to enforce the legislation and ensure Bhidu's capture.—rAjOo (gunwanti@hotmail.com)
- This film starts with an introduction to the lead actors, who live in Chandan Nagar Society. Each of the eight children has his own identity and a nickname based on these qualities. Akram is the fast bowler (Ramashekar), Encyclopedia is the mastermind (Arjun), Second hand (Laxman) gets to wear second hand clothes of his elder brother, Jhangya (Balwan, son of DVD library owner) who doesn't like to wear undergarments, Aflatoon who is sent by his parents for every extra curricular class imaginable, Silencer who doesn't say anything ever, Shaolin who loves everything Chinese. Not only that, but their whole team has a nickname - CHILLAR PARTY.
They explain that they have mainly two enemies with the "over-sized" neighboring cricket team to whom they always lose, and a dog to whom they have given a name - Loose Motion, since it has a tendency to make messes. So they develop an enmity against dogs. They were mourning and complaining about the dog when Lucky Singh nicknamed as Panauti (Since whatever he says, happens exactly opposite), says that "Don't worry, no other dog will ever enter our society," everybody loses hope.
Their hopes are shattered shortly after a boy - Fatka who was employed for washing the cars of the society, enters with his dog Bhidu. They do everything to throw the boy and his dog out, plant fake dog poop all over the society, steal Phatka's wash cloth, even hide Bhidu, but become unsuccessful. Eventually they develop a friendship with each other as Phatka helps them by serving as the lead bowler during the match with the neighboring cricket team. The Chillar party parents object to Phatka when their kids learn the rustic language from him. But they all forgive & adopt Phatka as part of their lives when Phatka helps a feminine voiced member of the society, struggling to get a job, by suggesting that he gets a job on radio.
But their happiness is short-lived when a reckless politician, Bhide, enters their life after his personal secretary is attacked by Bhidu for having hurt Phatka. Bhide is a close associate of Chandan Nagar Secretary Mr Tandon. Tandon hates the Chillar Party for good measure. Bhide announces that in a news telecast, all the stray dogs roaming about in residential buildings in Mumbai will be caught and terminated and gives an excuse that it is done so that Mumbai becomes safer, and declares the slogan as "Safe Mumbai and Safe Mumbaikar". He further informs that the dog can only be saved if the society files a NO OBJECTION CERTIFICATE within 1 month. Tandon promises Bhide that Bhidu will not be part of the Chandan Nagar society, as NOC will not be issued. Chillar party, shocked by this, strives hard to get the NOC, wherein they have to get at least more than 50% votes of the total residents in the society i.e. 31 votes. But they manage only ten votes after 15 days.
To get votes they use their radio connection to advertise the news of a talking dog. A reporter arrives & next day Bhidu & Chillar Party make the news. Bhide responds by threatening Tandon with jail over employing child labor in Phatka. Tandon fires Phatka, but the kids employ Phakta to clean their cycles & pay him from pocket money. To get more votes, they organize a CHADDI MARCH, marching the streets with nothing on their body except underwear. They are telecast on TV and this gets them 10 more. With more hard work and awareness they manage to get another 10 votes counting a total of 30 votes. Only 1 day remains to complete the deadline of 1 month as declared by Bhide. Whilst all this chaos is going on, a t.v channel invites Bhide and the Chillar party for an interview. Seeing this as their last chance, they attend the interview which is being telecast to the whole India.
Knowing that that is the last day and dog catchers are after Bhidu, they pray hard to save him. During the interview they are constantly mocked by Bhide and asked if all these dirty tricks and uncultured techniques were taught to them by the textbook. As he asks to stop the telecast, Silencer, who doesn't speak at all, speaks for the first time. He opens his text book and reads out loud "We must always help others" followed by others reading out "A friend in need is a friend indeed" and "We must do what is right". Overwhelmed by this the whole audience gives them a loud round of applause.
Whilst in the society, dog catchers are already searching for Bhidu. The paper containing 30 votes is before the secretary, Mr. Tandon while he's watching the telecast. He resents Chillar party and is a close associate of minister Bhide. He was asked by to give away Bhidu since this issue originated in his society. Chillar party pleads to leave and the interviewers agree. When they reach the society, they are disheartened as there is no sight of Bhidu. Suddenly Bhidu comes jumping in, wearing a collar reading "Bhidu, Chandan Nagar Society". While they were happy seeing Bhidu, they see the NOC on the desk with 31st sign - belonging to Tandon.
