Plot summary
Anjani, a migrant from Bihar, shares a home on the edge of Delhi with his pregnant sister and her husband, a security guard. He has joined the city's monkey repeller squad and stands outside government buildings to drive the animals away so that officers can work. The monkeys are tied to the god Hanuman, and he is not allowed to harm them. Contractual workers lock him in a cage built to trap the animals. The household depends on his modest pay, and an extra Rs 1,500 a month would mean a great deal, though the raise requires him to own a gun. The work makes Anjani uneasy, and his imitation of the animals does not move them the way Mahender's does.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Eeb Allay Ooo! (2019)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Director Prateek Vats got the idea for the film from a news report: after the Wildlife Protection Act of 1972 stopped langurs being used to scare monkeys at the Rashtrapati Bhawan in Delhi, authorities hired people to dress up as langurs instead.
- Filming took about 60 days in 2018, and for the monkey-menace scenes the crew often waited days for the monkeys to give the reactions they wanted, with a veterinarian on set throughout the shoot.
- Location sound was recorded single-handedly by Bigyna Dahal from FTII, who also worked as boom operator, because shooting near the Parliament of India made crowd control near impossible and signal jammers disrupted wireless devices.
