Plot

Dhol Taashe depicts the culture of people who play the musical instruments dhol (a drum instrument) and taashe in cultural processions in Maharashtra. The main character is Amey Karkhanis (Abhijeet Khandkekar), a young man who loses his job in the IT sector due to economic recession. After losing his job, Amey involves himself with a group of "Dhol Taashe" artistes who play dhol for cultural reasons and not money. Amey tries to corporatise this cultural tradition and bring it into mainstream.

In this process, Amey files a Public Interest Litigation in court to safeguard the interests of several groups playing "Dhol Taashe". As he files a litigation, he also wins the case where a political party leader Aditya Deshmukh (Jitendra Joshi) is also safeguarded and is saved from a police arrest.

Aditya absorbs Amey into his party and they start working together. In the process of working together a conflict arises and the film depicts the extent of violence that continues.
