DASVI is the story of an illiterate chief minister. Ganga Ram Chaudhary (Abhishek A Bachchan) is the chief minister of Harit Pradesh. He's sent to jail for indulging in a teacher's scam. Immediately, Ganga Ram tells his docile wife Bimla (Nimrat Kaur) to become the chief minister in his absence.... At first, he was provided with comfort, but once Jyoti Deswal (Yami Gautam Dhar) is made the superintendent of the prison, things change for him. An enraged Ganga Ram orders Bimla to pass transfer orders of Jyoti immediately. However, Bimla has tasted blood after assuming power and convinces Ganga otherwise. One day, Ganga Ram finds out that a few prisoners are students and are preparing for upcoming exams. He is also told that those who study are exempted from working. This and his childhood dream of getting a degree prompts Ganga Ram to announce that he'll sit for the Class 10 exams. What happens next forms the rest of the film.
