Bunty Aur Babli 2 (2021) Timeline Explained – Every Event in Order

Bunty (Rakesh Trivedi) and Babli (Vimmi Saluja) retired from their con artist careers sixteen years ago after their mentor JCP Dashrath Singh let them off the hook. They chose to settle down in Phursatganj, Uttar Pradesh, with Rakesh taking a job as a railway ticket collector while Vimmi focused on raising their son Pappu. The passage of time and their desire for a quieter, normal life prompted them to leave their criminal past behind.

Kunal Singh and Sonia Rawat adopted the identities of Bunty and Babli to launch their own con artist careers. They targeted a businessman named Chaddha and his wealthy associates as their first victims, orchestrating a scam that used the famous names of the original duo. Their goal was to prove themselves as capable con artists in the criminal underworld.

Inspector Jatayu Singh apprehended Rakesh and Vimmi because recent scams linked to the Bunty Aur Babli name had occurred, and the police naturally suspected the original duo who were famous for such crimes. Even though they had been retired for sixteen years, Jatayu believed they might be involved in the new wave of cons, especially since the impostors were using their exact identities.

Kunal and Sonia posed as consultants offering to clean up the Ganga river and tricked Varanasi's Mayor Chutvaa Chaubey into believing they had legitimate credentials. The Mayor fell for their ruse and initiated a cleanup operation, which turned out to be just another elaborate scam. This scheme demonstrated how the new duo exploited positions of trust for their cons.

Kunal and Sonia executed an elaborate scheme to commandeer wheat from an FCI warehouse, using their quick thinking and understanding of the criminal underworld to pull off the heist.

The stolen wheat was later distributed to local villagers, which attracted both attention and suspicion.

A comical cat-and-mouse chase unfolded at a Holi fair between the original Bunty and Babli and their impostors. Both groups engaged in a battle of wits and trickery, trying to outsmart each other. The chase heightened the stakes and led to a dramatic confrontation, though it did not result in any concrete evidence being gathered against the new con artists.

Despite the originals' efforts to track down the impostors, Jatayu had no solid evidence to link Kunal and Sonia to the crimes. Without concrete proof, his hands were tied legally, which motivated Rakesh and Vimmi to continue their own investigation and gather evidence against the younger con artists themselves.

Kunal and Sonia devised intricate plans to launder their stolen money from various cons, which drew Rakesh and Vimmi onto their trail. The originals collaborated with their old contacts from their criminal past to outsmart their younger counterparts and follow the money trail. This scheme became a key part of the cat-and-mouse game between both duos.

In Abu Dhabi, both groups discovered they shared common ground as victims of a corrupt system, which led to a major turning point. The originals and duplicates realized they were not enemies but rather similar players in the same world. This understanding paved the way for a resolution and changed the nature of their rivalry.

Beyond their criminal pursuits, Kunal and Sonia harbored a genuine desire to give back to society. They kept only a small portion of their takings for themselves while donating the rest to charity. Sonia also wanted to create a food app but struggled to secure financing, which partly drove her to con artistry as a means to fund her ambitions.

After discovering Kunal and Sonia's charitable motives and realizing they shared similar perspectives on the corrupt system, the original and new Bunty Aur Babli decided to unite. They joined forces for their next grand con, shifting from competitive rivalry to collaboration. Their partnership represented a new vision combining trickery with a goal of making a positive difference.
