Story:-
Priyadarsan brings 'Malamaal Weekly' a wacky and funny movie about the trials and tribulations of everyday people in a small town. Barely able to make ends meet, the people of this time are hounded by bad luck, be it the lack of money, the poor harvest or even the crazy money lender called Karamkall. Meet Lilaram, he lives in this small town and his means of earning an income (although it is quite weak) is by selling the weekly 'Malamaal' lottery tickets. While at a tea stall one day, he sees an announcement made that a ticket has won the one crore rupee jackpot, and in actual fact the ticket was brought from him!As the majority of people in this town don't own a television set and are also illiterate, Lilaram wants his hands on this ticket. He needs to find the winner amongst the 105 tickets that he has sold.

An idea hits him! Why not throw a party for all the buyers of the 105 lottery tickets? One condition though, the actual tickets must be brought to the party as invites. Everyone jumps at the chance, a party such as this is a luxury, for people struggling to make ends meet they can think of nothing more. So Lilaram manages to host this party but already knee deep in debt he sells his last asset a Kid Goat ( Which by the way is treated like a child by Lilaram's wife!)Everybody turns up to the party except one- that is known as Anthony who is a drunkard.

Lilaram decides to pay him a little visit and much to his surprise he finds Anthony slumped dead in front of the TV!Anthony has died of shock on hearing he has won the jackpot - with the ticket still in his hand!That's when the real fun begins! Watch how this one crazy event turns into one out of control roller coaster ride!Paresh Rawal stars as Lilaram- the crazy Lottery seller who thinks he is above everybody because he can speak a few English words!Om Puri is Balwant (Ballu) - The village milkman who mixes up his milk with water to make a little bit of profit.

Ritesh Deshmukh is Kanhaiya - Just a regular guy, but he is lovable and has a good heart. Working as a servant full time he is at Ballu's beck and call but is beaten up all the time- why? Simply because he is in love with Balwant's daughter Sukhmani.
