Smita, a house wife is dead. Her dog is the suspect. She has a 1 crore policy. Private Investigator Bhonde (Prashant Damle) is roped in by insurance company. Husband is a decent man and was out of station and wants to give insurance policy payment to wife's mother. Husband's brother is a very angry young man. Then there is the dog. A mute animal. One who can't defend oneself and is sentenced guilty by everyone. 

Bhonde, an ex cop, has a knack of upsetting almost everyone he meets, he asks seemingly unrelated and innocuous questions. He may be irritating and infuriating but he is also intelligent. 

There is a side story of Bhonde's dead daughter. It was not really required. Some questions like how come intern veterinarian starts calling Bhonde and his wife Aai- Baba? are better not asked.

Prashant Damle plays the protagonist. Although he acts well, rather than becoming Bhonde he remains Prashant Damle. Sharad Ponkshe, Subodh Bhave and Sanjay Mone play relatively smaller and less important roles. It's a coup to get these actor for supporting roles. As usual they deliver well. Ashwini plays Bhonde's helpless wife. 

It's a murder mystery, a whodunit. The least suspected theory prevails. The plot is interesting and well thought. Whether the evidence will stand in court or not is another matter. 

It's a good change. Recommend watching.
