The film is about a rabble-rouser (Jeetendra) who dies and goes to hell, where he starts up a union among the workers of Yamraj, the God of Hell (Premnath). He gets the workers to strike and eventually manages to get Yamraj himself to go on vacation, thereby stopping 'entry services' into hell. This consequently ends deaths on earth, and sends the Gods of heaven into a tizzy.
This is an extremely interesting film for a number of reasons - first, the references to Hindu gods are often irreverent (Yamraj is asked what he had to do with the 'immaculate conception' of Yudhistir in the Mahabharata) making one wonder if films have become less permissive over time! Second, there are several underhand references to Indira Gandhi's emergency (when Jeetendra engineers the strike in hell, he warns Yamraj that his own close aides will turn on him and depose against him in an enquiry commission if push came to shove).
And if all of this is not reason enough, the film is overall very entertaining -- Premnath and Deven Varma are fantastic as Yamraj and Chitragupt, the dialogue and script are quite funny. That said, the film could have shaved a few minutes off.
