Pritam and Pedro Storyline

Pritam and Pedro focus on Inspector Pedro (played by Arshad Warsi), who loves to handle the crimes in an old traditional way. On the other hand, Pritam (played by Vir Hirani) survives as a vacuum cleaner salesman, but he is passionate about being a hacker with exceptional technical skill; he possesses a sharp understanding of the digital world.

Both the opposite characteristics and personalities crossed paths when Pritam reached the police station to seek help for his grandfather’s stolen treasured tape recorder. Instead of searching the tape recorder, cops threw him in jail. However, an ATM theft case came, and Pritam assured Pedro he’d solve the case within 15 minutes by using his unique technical skill. In return, they have to help him to search for his stolen tape recorder.
