Chimanrao Kulkarni was never allowed to forget that he was useless. It was his wife Saraswati
and his daughter-in-law Hetal who ran the house, the taxi union and the KDC show (Kabootars
Driving Cabs). But it was Chimanrao’s solitary occupation that becomes the basis of the family
wealth. Wealth they cannot boast about. Wealth that Hetal’s younger sister Jigna’s new pimply-
faced boyfriend has been asked to investigate by the FBI. Just when Bhaurao, the new kabootar
from Sangli makes a mistake, the NYPD decides to plunge their fingers into something that
turns out to be spicier than the Kolhapuri chicken, Saraswati bai cooks for all the union drivers.
