Cash(2021)
Armaan, a 25-year old middle-class boy has an ambition of becoming India’s Elon Musk. On the day when the government announces demonetization, Armaan takes on the near-impossible task of laundering 5 crores of “dirty” money in less than 52 days before the banks stop accepting old notes, along with his buddy Soda and a crooked real estate agent, Neha. But soon, hot on his heels are politicians, their minions, and a compulsively punctual dabbawala-turned-cop.
