Synopsis :
Mumbai Se Aaya Mera Dost opens up with the background narration from Amitabh Bachchan about an Indian village that has just received electricity for the first time. The scene shows a group of villagers, holding lanterns in the darkness, celebrating in jubilation after a bulb lights up and their village gets electricity.

The focus shifts to a young man named Kanji (Abhishek) who is on his way to his village after staying in the city for 10 years. He is shown sitting on the roof of an overcrowded bus, covered in a blanket, kohl-lined eyes peering intensely at the camera.

He is carrying a gift for the villagers – a television set and a dish antenna. The simple folks in village have never seen a TV in their entire lives and when Kanji connects the TV and switches it on, villagers are awestruck and overwhelmed.

While villagers stay glued to magical television set, Kanji roams the village along with his childhood pal Surya (Aditya Lakhia). He also comes across a beautiful belle named Kesar aka KC (Lara) and falls for her at the first sight.

Unknowingly, Kanji sparks a wave of development in the village. But not everybody likes him. Among them is village's Thakur (Yashpal Sharma). Differences arise and eventually the hero has to fight the battle against the baddies to finally excel.
