It's the delightful time of 90s Delhi. Meet the cheerful and charming Shiri Shroff, whose world revolves around her husband Naveen and 2 kids. When Naveen's business goes bust, she is shell shocked when he takes a life altering decision that threatens to destroy her blissful family.
Shiri decides to pursue her childhood dream of becoming a stage-performing magician. She joins a magic troupe as a simple assistant, where she meets yesteryears' great magician Jadugar Saleem. While a cruel twist of fate has made Saleem lose his love for life, will Shiri be able to rekindle his passion and make him teach her the tropes?
While Saleem begins to find a way to showcase the new budding performer, the owner of the magic group, Viktor tells Shiri a devastating truth - women can't be magicians. While she tries to grapple with the world turning against her, she is devastated by a stunning decision made by her own daughter.
Shiri runs pillar to post to bring her daughter Mini back home, who believes Shiri is responsible for her father leaving. Shiri is helped by a strange man Akash who sees her financial struggles and offers her a job. Shiri's father-in-law Jigar tries to bring Naveen back to re-unite the family.
Running a scam to raise money, Saleem sets up funds and a show for Shiri. But Shiri's new job has begun to offer her comfort and she is in two minds about pursuing her dream. While she contemplates her next step, a startling revelation about the ever so helpful Akash stuns her.
Shiri stumbles upon a trick which she believes can put her on the map - the dreaded 'Canon Ball Act' which nobody had successfully performed in the last two decades. She sets on the journey to find the great magician who last did it, but soon hits a roadblock as she learns only an 'Asli - Jadugar' (extra ordinary mastermind) can track him down.
While the meeting with an ace magician Toofan makes her doubt her whole decision to pursue this path, her past comes back to haunt her. With everyone telling her to give up on her dream, will she succumb to the pressure or rise to the occasion?
At the Grand Magic Marathon, Shiri's first real performance comes under threat as her nemesis Viktor is determined to make her fail by any means possible. While in her personal life, lines have been drawn for a legal battle with Naveen.
Tired of being at the receiving end of everyone's betrayal and threats, Shiri decides to take back the reins of her life. Her tit-for-tat actions put her at loggerheads with her closest associate Saleem.
With the whole world pining for her failure, Shiri takes up the mammoth risk of doing the unthinkable - attempt the life threatening 'Canon Ball Act'. With everything on the line, will she succeed?
