Plot
Not all Gujaratis have that knack and not everyone can become a billionaire is what the movie says through the perspective of Dhirendra aka Dhirubhai played by Vrajesh Hirjee. The 30 year old management student Dhirubhai, dreams of making it big in the world of business — and yes, it is not dhandho (the Gujarati word for business) which sounds down market — even though his father (played by Ashish Bhatt) is fully convinced that his son will not be able to cope up with the challenges that a venture makes one face. A very happy-go-lucky Dhirubhai goes to college everyday religiously, not letting criticism of his past failures in exams affect his happy state of mind and has a thickest of friend in Ritesh Mobh, who likes everything that his dear friend Dhirubhai says and does. The twist happens on one such day in college after the management professor throws Dhirubhai out of the class politely when the aspiring Dhirubhai gives a lecture to the class on how Dhirubhai Ambani became a name to reckon with that lead to the chain of events. In order to impress the pretty girl (played by Jayaka Yagnik), who he is in love with, Dhirubhai accepts a challenge of setting up a profitable venture in a time frame of one year. Goaded by his friend, Dhirubhai sets up one venture after another, starting from a provision store to setting up a mill, taking aspiration from Dhirubhai Ambani's life.
