Plot summary
Abbas Ali and his sister Sania live in Delhi, where a court case over their father's house goes against them. After he beats the lawyer, Abbas is jailed and loses his job as a taxi driver. Their family friend Shastri bails him out, then persuades the two to relocate to Ranakpur, promising Abbas work with his employer, Prithviraj Raghuvanshi. There they meet Shastri's son Ravi, who runs a drama company. When a child is trapped inside a disputed temple, Abbas breaks its lock to rescue the child, and Prithviraj's estranged cousin Vikrant gets involved. Prithviraj appears on the scene, and Ravi gives Abbas's name as Abhishek Bachchan so that no religious trouble follows. Prithviraj takes him on as a supervisor.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Bol Bachchan (2012)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Bol Bachchan was the last collaboration between director Shetty and Vora, who died five years after its release, and with Ashtavinayak, which was suspended from trading that year and liquidated two years later, shutting the company down and making the film its final project.
- Krushna Abhishek won his role in Bol Bachchan by performing a Comedy Circus sketch about Shetty never giving him a film part despite earlier promises; Shetty was impressed and also cast the show's co-host Archana Puran Singh in the film.
- Actress Genelia D'Souza was signed for the second female lead in Bol Bachchan but opted out over differences with the makers, so the part was offered to Prachi Desai.
