Afsar (2018 film)

Jaspal Singh (Tarsem Jassar), an honest person is appointed as a Kanungo (Revenue Inspector under whom five Patwaris or agricultural land clerks work). Therefore, Kashmiro (Gurpreet Kaur Bhangu) a well wisher and senior lady from his village wants him to marry her niece Harman (Nimrat Khaira) who is a teacher in a government school and wants to marry someone in a government job.

Bharpur Singh (Karamjit Anmol) who is a corrupt Patwari (agricultural land clerk) from Harman's village and eyes her. He lies and instigates Harman's drunkard and illiterate father when he approached him for his land, that Patwari post is higher and richer than that of Kanungo and therefore he should get her married to him. So when Jaspal and his family approaches Harman's family for her hand, Jaspal's father refuses them even though everyone including Harman likes Jaspal. As Jaspal is leaving, Harman advises him to work hard and any how get a post of Patwari so that her father accepts him. To which Jaspal replies that hard work leads to promotion and not demotion and how can he become a junior official when he is a senior official?

And look at fate, when Jaspal is driving his car, another Jaspal Singh (Ravinder Mand) who has recently got the post of Patwari on grounds of his father's death, asks him for lift as his scooter gets broken down. On their way, Patwari Jaspal tells Kanungo Jaspal that he doesn't like this government job and prefers lying idle and getting drunk provided he gets some easy money. Looking at this great opportunity, Kanungo Jaspal gives money to Patwari Jaspal and tells him to go away some where and that he will take his place as the new Patwari as both their names are same and that no one knows them at all in that village.

Now, Kanungo Jaspal makes fake ID card and with the document from Patwari Jaspal and reports to Harman's village as the new Patwari after getting Patwari Bharpur Singh transferred through his best friend's uncle who is a politician. What happens thereafter is what the movie is all about.
