Plot summary
Jagga grows up in a small town with Badal Bagchi, the accident-prone guardian he calls TutiFuti. The boy's stammer keeps him quiet, so Bagchi shows him how to put his words into song. Bagchi enrolls him at a boarding school and then vanishes, and the only word from him afterward is a video cassette that arrives in the mail on Jagga's birthday each year. Jagga has detective skills, and he means to learn what became of the parent who vanished. He finds a partner in Shruti Sengupta, a journalist who is also accident-prone and carries an international criminal case of her own.
