In the humid air of Bhubaneswar, ( Kapil Sharma ) is a man defined by a blue rectangular backpack and the relentless ping of a smartphone. Once a respected floor manager at a factory, the pandemic stripped him of his job, forcing him into the volatile "gig economy" as a rider for Zwigato , a food delivery app.
