Plot

Topiwala begins on an interesting note with late Shankar Nag's voice mocking at our corruption and black money at Swiss Bank. The title card, like Uppi's Super, is funny and enjoyable. Next we are shown cops being beaten up at several places by goons. But soon we realise that cops in goons' avatar were catching culprits, who cheat people by wearing khaki. And their boss is none other than Basak (Upendra). He is a master mind, who steals money and easily escapes from police. Ramayana Raghu played by Rangayana Raghu wants to catch Basak at any cost but the intelligent criminal walks out every time, thereby giving hard times to the cop. The first half is about their Tom and Jerry game but builds a platform for the second half. A full corrupted politician reveals his secret code to access his Swiss account to Mr India, a beggar (Biridar). The politician's son tries to get the code but of no use. As a result, the former beats him on his head and the latter losses his memory. Then, a series of characters are shown including Bhavana. The rest of the story revolves around it. In spite of getting good start, Topiwala fails to keep audience attention in the first half. The film successfully holds the curiosity all through the movie.
