KATHAL: A JACKFRUIT MYSTERY is the story of two missing jackfruits. One fine day in Moba district in Uttar Pradesh, MLA Munnalal Pateria (Vijay Raaz) complains to the police that two jackfruits, each weighing 15 kgs, have gone missing from a tree in his mansion. SP Angrez Singh Randhawa (Gurpal…&nbspSingh), DSP Narendra Sharma (Satish Sharma) and Inspector Mahima Basor (Sanya Malhotra) rush to his residence and start the investigation, though they realize that the case is frivolous. However, Munnalal insists that it’s a serious crime. He also informs the cops that the fruit was of rare Malaysia’s Uncle Hong breed. The Party President had loved the pickle that he had at Munnalal’s house and it was made from this particular jackfruit variety. Munnalal had promised to send a jar of pickles to the Party President and CM’s house. In return, he was promised a ministerial berth. As a result, it’s very crucial for Munnalal to find the missing rare jackfruits. Mahima reluctantly begins the investigation. She learns that 2 days before the jackfruits went missing, Munnalal had fired his gardener, Birwa (Ambrish Saxena). Birwa is missing and hence, the cops conclude that he must have stolen the jackfruit in an act of revenge. A twist occurs when Birwa himself turns up at the police station not to surrender but for an altogether different reason. What happens next forms the rest of the film.
