The film delves into the life of Satya and Kaberi Ganguly — a couple in their mid-30s. They are trapped in a boring and stressful middle-class life, worrying about expenses after sending their son to Delhi to study in school with Satya’s brother. They face a sudden twist when Satya's enigmatic acquaintance, Sayan – a fellow from his school who he barely recognizes invites himself over for a night and mysteriously dies of a drug overdose in their home, leaving behind a suitcase filled with money. As they delve into the secrets hidden within the money, the couple finds themselves entangled in a dangerous web of heroin trafficking. 

Talking about the film, Mainak said, “I wanted to make a film about an ordinary middle-class mundane husband and wife and throw them in the world of crime and fantasy and see where it goes. To me, Bhaggyo Lokkhi is a mix of real-life drama that leaps into a fantasy world for real-life people. I am indebted to Nandy Movies and my producer for being excited to tell this story with me.”
