Railway ticket checker Radhe Mohan Sharma discovers a little irregularity in his bank account, which starts a series of events that lead him to discover a huge financial scam masterminded by Do bank founder and influential banker Micky Mehta. In the face of tremendous pressure and threats, Radhe uncovers a billion-dollar swindle and goes to great lengths to reveal the truth.
 
In what appears to be a side narrative of a shankar movie from the 1990s and 2000s, Hisaab Barabar tells the straightforward tale of a good government official against a bank founder. The two-hour film explores the inner workings of a corrupt system that protects the powerful and ignores the voice of the regular person, relying on a basic premise. It uses an old-fashioned good vs evil cliché to present an already uninteresting narrative without trying to pique your interest.
 
Even if the movie had only been 15 minutes long, its impact would have remained the same. The protagonist Radhe is a perfect example of the never-say-die attitude of the average person. His life takes an unexpected turn when he discovers a white-collar crime that affects all bank account holders, alternating between his unquestionable ethics at work and being a loving father at home.
 
Despite being overly generic as a movie, Hisaab Barabar is remarkably concentrated (aided by its 110-minute duration). Mickey is shown as the spoiled brat, the one-dimensional antagonist with no character outside of being a con artist. He just throws parties, threatens the weak protagonist Radhe, and tries to curry favor with the powerful. Radhe, on the other hand, is middle class, honest, and frugal.
