Description: Khatta Meetha 2021 is a Hindi film that follows the story of Sachin Tichkule, portrayed by Akshay Kumar, a struggling contractor from Maharashtra with big dreams. However, his aspirations remain unfulfilled due to his inability to bribe corrupt officials. His family has lost faith in him, urging him to earn money honestly. To complicate matters, the new Municipal Commissioner turns out to be Gehna Ganpule, played by Trisha, his former girlfriend who now despises him for his reckless behavior. The plot thickens as Sachin’s brothers-in-law, Trigun Fatak, Suhas Vichare, and his elder brother Harish Tichkule, are implicated in a bridge collapse tragedy. They are protected by a politician named Sanjay Rana, played by Jaideep Ahlawat. To cover their tracks, they frame and later kill their driver Vishwas Rao, fearing he might reveal the truth.
Sanjay becomes infatuated with Sachin’s sister Anjali, played by Urvashi Sharma. Sachin confronts Sanjay and warns him to stay away from Anjali, even slapping him. Meanwhile, journalist Azad Bhagat seeks justice for his family, who perished in the bridge collapse. Unaware that Anjali is promised to Sanjay, Sachin questions his father Ramakant Tichkule about the arrangement. Ramakant harshly rebukes Sachin, stating he has no say in the matter as he lacks the financial means to support his sister. Sachin later discovers Anjali has been trying to contact him, but when he visits her home, he learns she is not there.
Further complicating matters, Gehna attempts suicide after being framed by Sachin and is hospitalized. Sachin eventually reveals his disillusionment with his past principles and reconciles with her and her elder brother.
