Reporter

Baburao… AMEER… HO GAYA!!

(Entire cast freezes in shock.)

Everyone

KYA????? X 3

[(Hero music begins.)

Baburao enters wearing sunglasses, fake gold chains, a colourful shirt, and carrying a toy
briefcase overflowing with fake currency.

He walks in slow motion.

Stops every few steps to wave like a celebrity.]

Kamla Aunty

(Looking up and down.)

Shanta… Ye Baburao hai… Ya Ambani ka bichhda hua beta?

Shanta

Nahi… Ambani bhi itna nahi udta!

(Audience laughs.)

Baburao

Jealous mat ho. Rich log aise hi walk karte hain.

Kamla:
Aakhir paisa aaya kahan se?

Shanta:
Kahin lottery toh nahi lag gayi?

(Baburao enters wearing sunglasses and acting rich.)

Baburao:
“Lottery lagi, paisa mila… aur phir paisa ban gaya paisa!”

Kamla:
Aye Baburao, sach bata! Kya kiya?

Baburao:
Aao tumhe meri kahani sunata hu!

(Lights/music. Baburao acts out the sequence.)

Baburao:
Sabse pehle mujhe mila lottery ka paisa!

ALL:
“Lottery aayi—khushi chhaayi!”

Baburao:
Phir maine paisa daala Fixed Deposit mein.

CA SHYAM (from side):

Aur FD se mila interest!

Baburao:
Interest se paisa aaya, phir maine invest kiya shares mein!

SHANTA:
Shares? Matlab ab Baburao shareholder ban gaya?

KAMLA:
Kal tak chai ka share maangta tha, ab company ka share maang raha hai!

Baburao:
Phir maine paisa lagaya mutual funds mein.
ALL:
“Risk samjho, invest karo, Andha-dhundh
nahi, smartly grow karo!”

Baburao:
Phir maine film banayi!

ALL:
Kaunsi?

Baburao:
“Tiger Ka Badla Returns Again Part 2!”

(Everyone reacts dramatically.)

REPORTER:
Naam sunke hi audience ne ‘no thank you’ bol diya!

Baburao:
Film flop ho gayi!

SHANTA:
Arre wah! Film flop, producer flop, audience flop!

Baburao:
Lekin… remake rights hit ho gaye!

ALL:
“Picture flop, rights hit—Baburao ka profit fit!”

(Baburao sells remake rights.)

TAX OFFICER (enters in Singham style):

“Movie hit ho ya flop… TAX TO DENA PADEGA!”
(Dramatic pose. He starts taking Baburao away.)

Baburao:
Arre bhai, meri film toh flop hui!

TAX OFFICER:
Lekin remake rights bechke paisa mila na?

CA SHYAM (enters):
Rukiye, rukiye! Pehle tax ka concept samajhiye!

TAX OFFICER:
Batao, CA Shyam. Lekin one-minute mein!

CA SHYAM:
Simple!

“Jab koi asset—jaise property, shares ya rights—bechne par profit hota hai, us profit ko
kehte hain CAPITAL GAIN!”

“Sale value minus cost… profit hua toh capital gain!”

BABURAO:
Toh mere remake rights bechne se jo profit hua…

CA SHYAM:
Woh capital gain ho sakta hai, depending on the nature of the asset and applicable tax
rules!

TAX OFFICER:
Matlab?

CA SHYAM:
“Paisa kamao, profit kamao, Par
tax ko kabhi mat bhagao!”
ALL:
“Capital asset becha—profit jo aaya,
Capital Gain ne naam kamaya!”

🎭 ACT 2: “KISAN KA GAIN, GIFT AUR

FAMILY PENSION”(add wife)
⏱ Approx. 3 minutes (Farmer

enters happily.)

FARMER:
Aaj toh meri zindagi badal gayi! Maine apni pushteni zameen bech di!

KAMLA:
Pushteni zameen? Matlab parivar se mili?

FARMER:
Haan! Mere bauji ne barso se yeh zameen kharidi rakhi thi.

FATHER:
Beta, maine yeh zameen ₹10 lakh mein khareedi thi!

(Father exits. Farmer returns.)

FARMER:
Aur maine aaj wahi zameen ₹1 crore mein bechi!

ALL:
“Buy low, sell high—capital gain is why!”
CA SHYAM:
Agar capital asset bechne par profit hota hai, toh woh capital gain ho sakta hai. Aur inherited
property mein cost aur holding period ke special rules apply ho sakte hain.

FARMER:
Wah! Zameen bechi, paisa aaya, main toh millionaire ban gaya!

(Friends give him gifts. Farmer acts shocked.)

FRIEND/CHORUS:
Bhai, yeh gift le!

FARMER:
Itna bada gift?

CA SHYAM:
"Haan... lekin gift ki value ₹50,000 cross hote hi sarkar bolegi—'Sharing is caring.'"

FARMER:
Matlab gift mila aur tax ka surprise bhi mila?

CA SHYAM:
“Gift ho ya income ka source,

Tax ko samjho—warna wallet kare divorce!”

(Option2: “Gift ho ya income ka source,

Tax rules ko samjho, stay on course!”)

FARMER:
Aur mere ghar mein family pension bhi aati hai!

CA SHYAM:
Family pension bhi tax rules ke under aa sakti hai, aur applicable deduction/rules ke according
tax treatment hota hai.
FARMER:
Itni saari income! Main toh reel banaunga!

(Farmer makes a reel.)

FARMER:
“Zameen bechi, gift bhi aaya, Pension
ne mood banaya!
Income aaye chaaron ore,
Tax rules samjho—then explore!”

(Rohit and Prajakta enter from opposite sides.)

ROHIT:
Yeh reel meri company ke advertisement ke liye perfect hai!

PRAJAKTA:
Excuse me! Pehle maine dekhi thi. Reel meri!

ROHIT:
Tumhari? Tum toh reel dekh ke bhi “financial freedom” ko “free mein finance” samajhti ho!

PRAJAKTA:
Aur tum? Tumhare advertisements mein product se zyada tum khud dikhte ho!

ROHIT:
At least mera brand successful hai!

PRAJAKTA:
Successful? Tumhare last ad ko toh views ne bhi ignore kar diya!

(They argue. Prajakta throws coffee at Rohit—can be mimed safely with an empty cup or
imaginary coffee.)

Rohit:

“MY LIMITED EDITION HOODIE!!”

Prajakta:

“Now it’s Cappuccino Edition.”

Rohit:

“Cancel culture!”

Prajakta: “Touch

grass.”

CA Shyam:

“Bas! Tum dono reel ke rights pe lad rahe ho... Aur mujhe sirf ek baat ki tension hai—
earning kiski hogi, aur tax kaun bharega?”

+slogan for transition between act 2 and act 3

🎭 ACT 3: “FINANCE DIDI KI FAKE GYAAN

KI DUKAAN”
⏱ Approx. 2–3 minutes

(Finance Didi enters with phone, influencer style.)

FINANCE DIDI:
Hello guys! Welcome back to my channel! Aaj ka tax tip!

“Tax bharne ki zaroorat nahi! Bas phone mein reel dekho, knowledge automatically aa
jaayegi!”

FARMER:
Arre wah! Maine bhi aapki reel dekhi thi. Isliye tax time pe pay nahi kiya!

FINANCE DIDI:
Aur maine bola tha—
“Income tax? Tension max! Ignore karo, life relax!”
(Tax Officer enters dramatically.)

TAX OFFICER:
“Relax? Ab notice ke saath karna relax!”

FARMER:
Lekin Finance Didi ne bola tha!

TAX OFFICER:
Finance Didi ne bola… par law ne nahi bola!

CA SHYAM:
Social media par har confident person expert nahi hota.

FINANCE DIDI:
Toh meri reels galat thi?

CA SHYAM:
Galat information se tax planning nahi hoti, tax trouble hota hai!

TAX OFFICER:
“Reel chhoti ho sakti hai, Par
tax law simple nahi hota!”

CA SHYAM:
“Capital Gains tax kitna lagega? It depends on what you sold, what you paid, how long
you held it, and which tax rule applies—simple!”

TAX OFFICER:
Aur Other Income ke liye gifts, interest, pension aur doosre sources ke tax rules samajhna
zaroori hai.

CA SHYAM:
“Google, reels aur random advice se pehle—
Reliable source ya qualified professional se advice lo!”

FARMER:
Ab samajh gaya!

FINANCE DIDI:
Main bhi ab se reel banaungi…

ALL:
Kis topic pe?

FINANCE DIDI:
“Pehle fact-check, phir post-check!”

ALL:
Wah! Didi ka upgrade ho gaya!

🎬 Performance tip

To keep this within 10 minutes, use fast transitions, short music clips between acts,
exaggerated freeze poses, and have the entire group create the crowd energy through claps,
repeated slogans, and synchronized reactions. The tax concepts are deliberately simplified
for a school performance; exact tax treatment can depend on the specific asset, income type,
thresholds, and applicable law.

Left to be done:

● Parodies
● Highlighted dialogues to be changed
● Add humour
● Add slogans
● Songs
● Roasting
● Genz slangs
