Plot
When two hackers are murdered in Delhi, the Delhi Police suspect that the case revolves around hacking. They begin their search to find a computer hacker who can help them crack this case. The head of the police team, ACP Siddhanth, accompanied by Inspector Bhalla, stumbles across Mickey Arora, a lazy but smart hacker who runs a grocery store during the day and creates viruses for anti-virus companies at night, along with his friends, the tomboy Shalu "Chutney" Sharma, Manjot "Floppy" Gill, Palwinder "Pancho" Singh, and Professor, who assist him in all odd jobs.ACP Siddhanth hires him to hack the website of a group of cybercriminals known as the Bhram Gang. Meanwhile, Mickey falls in love with Kamayani, an employee of Excalibur Securities. One day in her office, Kamayani mistakenly gets transferred a large amount of money from a client's account, but, to avoid her being fired, Mickey hacks the company's website to reverse the transaction. The next morning, Micky realises that he has unwittingly stolen ₹1 billion from a Dubai-based don named Anwar Raja, and Kamayani has been murdered. Scared of being framed for both crimes, Mickey seeks help from his friends.
In his quest to search for the real culprit, Mickey traces the ₹1 billion and finds out that ACP Siddhanth is the mastermind who forced Kamayani to bluff him. Mickey calls ACP and his friends to the parking lot of Nehru Place, where ACP tells him that his friends Floppy, Pancho, and Professor are the Bhram Gang admins and want to kill him for the money, as they did to the two hackers and Kamayani. Surrounded by the goons, Mickey records and telecasts their confession on YouTube. In the end, Inspector Bhalla, along with the police force, arrests ACP Siddhanth and the Bhram Gang. Mickey secretly takes one crore from the stolen ₹1 billion before handing it over to Inspector Bhalla. Credits roll to show a few deleted scenes and bloopers and plays a call recording of Anwar Raja, who orders to kill Mickey.
