Box Office 2023 Recap: Adipurush, Tejas, Kuttey and Shehzada saw over 69% drop in collections on 1st Monday as compared to the opening day

KUTTEY is the story of a bunch of immoral characters. The year is 2016. Two police officers, Gopal (Arjun Kapoor) and Paaji (Kumud Mishra) are confronted by the dreaded wheelchair-bound gangster, Narayan Khobre (Naseeruddin Shah), over their association with the drug dealer, Surti (Jay Upadhyay). Khorbe forces them to finish... off Surti. Gopal and Paaji reach Surti’s mansion. They attack Surti and decide to run away with his drugs, worth crores. As luck would have it, Surti survives and while escaping, Gopal and Paaji get caught by cops. They try explaining to their senior, Rajiv Mishra (Aasmaan Bhardwaj), that they had gone to Surti’s place as undercover cops. But Rajiv is not convinced and suspends them. With no other option, they meet inspector Pammi Sandhu (Tabu), a corrupt, ruthless cop. She asks them to arrange for Rs. 1 crore each and in return, she’ll get their suspension orders revoked. While the trio are having the conversation, Pammi’s old friend, Harry (Ashish Vidyarthi), joins in. Harry is a former cop who now supplies money to the ATMs in Mumbai and Navi Mumbai. When Harry reveals that he carries Rs. 4 crores of money in his van every night, Gopal gets tempted. He decides to loot the van at an isolated spot in Navi Mumbai. He gathers help from some police officers, whose lives he had saved during an operation once. They set up a fake nakabandi check post to stop Harry’s van. Though Harry’s men kill Gopal’s colleagues and even injure Gopal, he manages to loot the money. From here on, things go awry as not just Paaji and Pammi, but even Lovely (Radhika Madan), her boyfriend Danny Dandekar (Shardul Bhardwaj) and a Maoist revolutionary Laxmi (Konkona Sen Sharma) also join in the madness. What happens next forms the rest of the film.
