After Anna Hazare and the many shenanigans that have been following him for several months now, a film talking about corruption sounded a little exhausting. I was worried that Gali Gali Chor Hai might just end up being a screaming, candle lighting, revenge taking kind of a film. Fortunately, it is none of that.

Gali Gali Chor Hai follows the story of a common man, Bharat (Akshaye Khanna). Bharat works at a bank in Bhopal, MP and playing Hanuman in the local Ramlila is his pet hobby.u00a0 Bharat lives with his father (Satish Kaushik), wife (Shriya Saran) and a paying guest (Mugdha Ghodse) A local politician gets peeved with Bharat for not giving him a spare room in his house to set up his election office, and decides to get back at him. So he uses the help of the local cop station to harass Bharat in every way possible.
