Fun2shh… Dudes in the 10th Century (2003) Plot Summary Explained

Vikram and Ajay were the two guards hired to protect the crown, making them immediate suspects when the theft occurred. Even though Chindi Chor was the actual thief, the security team including John D'Souza became prime suspects because they were responsible for guarding the artifact. The real thief escaped while the guards were left to face the consequences, forcing them to pursue Chindi themselves to prove their innocence.

Foreshadowing: Earlier, Ghoshal hired private security specifically to prevent Chindi's heist, placing the guards at the scene of the crime when it happened.
