Plot Summary of Hindi Film Jhund (2022)

Movie Plot

The movie takes inspiration from the life of Vijay Barse, the founder of NGO Slum Soccer.

Prof. Vijay Borade (Amitabh Bachchan) frequently watches road brats smoking pot and cigarettes in a playground, which he uses as a turnpike.

One day, he offers them Rs. 500 if they play a game of football among themselves. They find the offer lucrative because it involves money and a game.

This soon becomes a pastime-with-benefit for the road kiddies. These brats are now becoming civilized as they spend most of the time with Professor playing football in the playground.
