Special Chabbis

The movie set in the early 1980as, is coceptualised from a real-life daring heist on 19-March-1987 where an unknown man posing as CBI officer Mon Singh, recruited 26 men posing as income tax officers, masterminded and executed a daylight income tax raid on the Opera House branch of Tribhovandas Bhimji Zaveri, a prominent Jeweller in Mumbai, and disappeared with big haul of jewellery. This incident shocked jewellers across Zaveri Bazaar in Mumbai and the police were unable to apprehend any suspect. As the folklore goes, the unknown con-man was Natwarlal who sold the Taj Mahal, the Red Fort along with Rashtrapati Bhavan to unsuspecting investors. Natwarlal a master of disguises, used many aliases and novel ideas, to cheat a number of industrialists. Till the very end no one was able to catch him and remains a mystery even in his death.
