Plot
Once upon a college campus, Professor Kashyap, a wizard of sorts, was dabbling in experiments involving a mystical coat. His guinea pigs? None other than his own students, with Chiplya being his top choice. Now, Chiplya was not only a former student but also the college's go-to choreographer and bosom buddy of Pushkar.

Enter Nupur, a fresh face in the college scene, eager to showcase her dance prowess. Seeing an opportunity to impress her, Pushkar convinced Chiplya, despite his lack of dance skills, to let him join the dance crew. Little did they know, their world was about to get a sprinkle of magic.

On the darker side of campus life, we had Chota Dambis, a local thug, collecting "protection money" for the infamous gangster, Appa Dambis. Now, Professor Kashyap, frustrated by his magical experiments going south, decided to chuck the enchanted coat away.

In a twist of fate, during Pushkar's attempt to dazzle Nupur, he managed to mess up a crucial dance competition. This misstep triggered a pursuit by Sandy and his gang, who were out for some disciplinary action.

In the heat of the chase, Pushkar stumbled upon the forgotten magical coat, and as luck would have it, a lightning bolt brought it back to life. Now armed with wish-granting powers, Pushkar spilled the secret to Chiplya, and the duo hatched a plan to win over Nupur.

However, our story takes a darker turn when Appa and Chota Dambis caught wind of the coat's extraordinary abilities. Their devious minds instantly schemed to exploit its powers for their own malicious purposes. Little did they know, the college campus was about to witness a showdown between the forces of good and the mischievous intentions of those who sought to misuse the magical coat.
