The Magic of Shiri

It's the delightful time of 90s Delhi. Meet the cheerful and charming Shiri Shroff, whose world revolves around her husband Naveen and 2 kids. When Naveen's business goes bust, she is shell shocked when he takes a life altering decision that threatens to destroy her blissful family.

Shiri decides to pursue her childhood dream of becoming a stage-performing magician. She joins a magic troupe as a simple assistant, where she meets yesteryears' great magician Jadugar Saleem. While a cruel twist of fate has made Saleem lose his love for life, will Shiri be able to rekindle his passion and make him teach her the tropes?

While Saleem begins to find a way to showcase the new budding performer, the owner of the magic group, Viktor tells Shiri a devastating truth - women can't be magicians. While she tries to grapple with the world turning against her, she is devastated by a stunning decision made by her own daughter.

Shiri runs pillar to post to bring her daughter Mini back home, who believes Shiri is responsible for her father leaving. Shiri is helped by a strange man Akash who sees her financial struggles and offers her a job. Shiri's father-in-law Jigar tries to bring Naveen back to re-unite the family.

Running a scam to raise money, Saleem sets up funds and a show for Shiri. But Shiri's new job has begun to offer her comfort and she is in two minds about pursuing her dream. While she contemplates her next step, a startling revelation about the ever so helpful Akash stuns her.

Shiri stumbles upon a trick which she believes can put her on the map - the dreaded 'Canon Ball Act' which nobody had successfully performed in the last two decades. She sets on the journey to find the great magician who last did it, but soon hits a roadblock as she learns only an 'Asli - Jadugar' (extra ordinary mastermind) can track him down.
