Serious Men follows the story of Ayyan Mani, a wily dalit man living in a slum, who tricks the country into believing that his dim-witted 10-year old son is a genius. However, he eventually realises that the only one he is truly hurting with his con is his own son. The story is about a poor father navigating through his professional as well as personal life in the chaos of Mumbai. It is a story of class and gender conflict.
