Was Tribhuvan Mishra in trouble?
Tribhuvan Mishra CA Topper begins with the male protagonist in his kinky costume being attacked by someone. He tries his level best to save himself from being killed. The scene was happening inside a room of a seedy lodge in Noida, and the attack was vicious. The scene moves to a flashback, set months ago when Tribhuvan Mishra was introduced as a law-abiding, hardworking man who has a decent government job. He never believed in taking bribes, because of which he was ridiculed by his brother-in-law and friends, but the man never budged from his ideals.
Tribhuvan’s biggest strength in his personal life was his ability to satisfy his wife Ashoklata in bed, and she was appreciative of the fact that he gave importance to pleasuring her. Tribhuvan Mishra led a peaceful life until a bank scam erased all his savings, and he was forced to think of alternative ways to make money for his family. Ashoklata did her part by baking and selling cakes to neighborhood people, but it was time for Tribhuvan to step up and find answers.
What was Tribhuvan Mishra’s solution?
Tribhuvan initially took a bribe from a businessman to sustain his family. Unfortunately, his wife cleared all their debts using that money, but Tribhuvan began to get the guilt pangs of taking a bribe, and he refused to sign the papers he was supposed to in return for the money he took. The businessman who was shrewd asked for the money that Tribhuvan did not have on him. This forced Tribhuvan to consider getting into the world of sex work after finding out that many men earned good money if there was good word of mouth. Tribhuvan was left with no option but to register himself on an adult website and hope to get responses.
Tribhuvan initially met up with a professional male prostitute, Vineet Kumar, who sympathized with his situation and offered him tips on how to satisfy women. Vineet eventually became his mentor and friend, and Tribhuvan has ever since been unstoppable. His screen name, CA Topper, became a hit, and the man began to earn good money.
What were Shubham and his wife Shobha up to?
Shubham was Ashoklata’s brother, and he was the opposite of his brother-in-law, Tribhuvan Mishra. Shubham and his wife, Shobha Pathak, were street-smart people, or they claimed themselves to be. Shubham was a life insurance salesman who was selling most of his policies to gangsters. The couple planned to reinvest that money in the stock market in the hope of getting more returns. As a couple, they dedicated their life to many things that would bring their family a lot more income than they received from Shubham’s work. Shobha was the person who came up with many ideas, and she tried to be a lot more resourceful than expected. They never financially helped Tribhuvan and always referred to him as someone who never had any extra skill that would bring extra income for his family.
Was Bindi unhappy with her marriage to Teeka Ram Jain?
Bindi Jain was married to confectioner and sweet shop owner Teeka Ram Jain. Teeka Ram Jain ran this business as a front, while his main work involved running a mafia gang that was involved in kidnapping, extortion, and killing. The man was a traditionalist who thoulame to spend time with his wife, while she was vocal about what she wanted from the marriage all these years. Bindi was an emotionally and physically unsatisfied woman who was looking for ways to gratify herself, being burdened by a cold and distant husband who never complimented her and expected her to be content with the life she was leading currently. This emotional and physical distance led to Bindi meeting Tribhuvan through the adult website. Apart from sexually gratifying her, the man was obliged to be everything she aspired her husband to be—a Bollywood hero who would dance for and with her.
Soon Bindi began to find solace in Tribhuvan’s company, and the man was happy so long as he was getting his money. Both formed a bond, and Tribhuvan began to bring a cake every day made by his wife as a token of appreciation. Both shared an intimate bond that did not feel like love initially, especially for Bindi, but soon things began to change in her mind.
How was Tribhuvan caught?
Bindi’s fun little meetings with Tribhuvan was finally caught by Teeka Ram Jain’s henchman Luppu, who had begun to follow her around the town. As Teeka Ram had mentioned, his wife never bothered him anymore, and it made Luppu question the reasons. It did not take long for him to understand that Bindi was meeting a man, and he planted a secret camera to record everything happening in the room. Luppu was quick to confront Bindi and Tribhuvan and wanted to beat him up and present him in front of Teeka Ram Jain. Bindi’s husband was aware of the affair, but what irked him was the fact that Tribhuvan danced for Bindi, and that he made her smile, which hurt the gangster’s ego. However, the attack launched by Luppu on Tribhuvan connects the scene to the opening shot of the show. The fight led to Tribhuvan having to kill Luppu in self-defense. Luppu’s friend Dhaincha and Teeka Ram came to the scene of the crime to find Luppu’s body and were horrified to find out it was Bindi’s lover who had killed the man. They never had a picture of him, and Bindi claimed she only contacted him through the website and never knew his real name.
Who helped Tribhuvan get out of trouble?
Ever since Luppu’s death, Tribhuvan knew he was in trouble. He was also aware of Teeka Ram Jain and what the man was capable of. His only way out was to approach his brother-in-law, Shubham, and his wife, Shobha. The couple knew of Tribhuvan being a male prostitute through a rather awkward situation they faced a while back in the show’s timeline. Out of pity and concern, they chose to help Tribhuvan. They get him protection from one of Shubham’s clients from the wrath of Teeka Ram Jain. Tribhuvan accepted more bribes from the same person to clear the debts he had taken to start a bakery for his wife Ashoklata. Tribhuvan had to get himself out of the mess as he never wanted his wife to ever find out about his other job, which was rather demeaning in the broader social context.
Was Bindi in love with Tribhuvan?
Bindi was tired of watching her husband try his level best to make her happy. Bindi, after her meetings with Tribhuvan had ceased, had begun to think of him more often than she could believe, and she always remembered the cakes he brought for her. The woman finally met Tribhuvan and confessed her love for him. She was under the impression that the man was in love with her, as he had listened to her and given in to all of her desires. This made her believe in love and she hoped Tribhuvan would reciprocate the feeling. To her shock, Tribhuvan came out clean about his feelings, claiming that he would never leave his wife and children. Tribhuvan had never loved her, as his job meant having to satisfy her as a client in every way possible. He was honest with Bindi about him being this way to not just her but every woman who had paid him.
Bindi was heartbroken as she was under the impression she was special as he got a cake for her every time they met. Tribhuvan was only in love with Ashoklata, but sadly, he could not come clean to her about his work that had funded many things in their lives. Bindi had hoped to elope with him because of this fantasy of her wanting a hero to save her from her distressing life.
Who outed Tribhuvans’ secret, and why?
As Tribhuvan’s life and problems were almost sorted thanks to Shubham and his wife Shobha, there was a storm brewing behind his back as Bindi wanted to get rid of him. Dhaincha, Luppu’s friend wanted to kill the person who murdered his best friend. His pain of losing Luppu made him share the life he had planned with him as he confessed they had been in love with each other for the past many years. The pain of losing a loved one helped Bindi comprehend the same feeling as both joined hands to get rid of Tribhuvan Mishra. Since Bindi felt cheated on by Tribhuvan, she made sure to involve her husband to get rid of the ex-lover. Teeka Ram Jain was willing to help Bindi because he did not want her to leave him. This was the first time Teeka Ram wanted to be with Bindi and was not complaining about her. He also did not speak about what society would perceive because his only aim was to impress by finding Tribhuvan. This would be a win-win situation, as Dhaincha, Teeka Ram, and Bindi would all be able to get their revenge.
The police who were investigating Luppu’s murder found their main suspect, which was Vineet Kumar, as his DNA was found in the room of the seedy lodge where Bindi and Tribhuvan used to meet. Vineet Kumar, who was also going by “Desi Ghoda”, was caught by the police. The man had anticipated this arrest ever since the murder because he was the only other person who had entered the room besides Tribhuvan and Bindi. Vineet Kumar came across as a gentle giant, as he never meant to harm anyone despite his large physique. He came across as a nice guy with only the intention of earning extra income. Sadly, his life took a turn due to Luppu’s murder case, and the arrest was inevitable.
Bindi hired Dhaincha and his men to spy on the police and, through them, get to Tribhuvan. Bindi knew only Vineet would know of Tribhuvan’s location, and her men kidnapped him. There were plenty of discrepancies in the screenplay, which the makers tried to overlook. This added to the chaos, as by the end, it had all turned into a giant messy puddle. The confusion regarding Vineet being caught was also done hastily. Vineet was forced by Bindi’s men to locate Tribhuvan, who was with his family for a religious function. Bindi, her husband, and their gang landed to confront Tribhuvan and hopefully reveal his real identity. As the gunfire began and the chaos ensued, Tribhuvan could not get out and he knew he would be exposed. The chaos ended with the standoff between Ashoklata, Bindi, and Tribhuvan. Bindi revealed Tribhuvan Mishra’s real identity to Ashoklata and she was shocked at the revelation. The makers of the film never gave enough time to any of the characters including Ashoklata to process this reveal.
Tribhuvan Mishra CA Topper ended with Ashoklata being livid at her husband and walking away with her kids with a certain Titu Arora claiming she also had her secrets. This would mean Ashoklata also may have had a secret lover, or she may have faked everything on her marital bed as she sought gratification from the man named ‘Titu Arora’. As Tribhuvan shocked his wife, Ashoklata did the same, but this time he was all alone, having to pick up the pieces of his life and fix his mistakes.
