Dasvi is a 2022 Hindi-language social comedy film written and directed by first-timer Tushar Jalota, and it is produced by Shobhna Yadav and Sandeep Leyzell under Bake My Cake Films and Dinesh Vijan under his Maddock Films banner. Starring in it are Nimrat Kaur, Yami Gautam, and Abhishek Bachchan. Gautam portrays an IPS officer, and Bachchan plays an illiterate politician. Arun Kushwah, Abhimanyu Yadav, Shivankit Singh Parihar, and Sachin Shroff all have significant roles in the movie.

The charming and haughty Chief Minister of the made-up state of Harit Pradesh, Ganga Ram Chaudhary, has been charged with fraud and held in custody. Until he can post bail, he names his wife Bimmo Chaudhary as acting chief minister. Initially timid and servile, Bimmo quickly picks up the skills necessary to become a successful politician and transforms her appearance in the process. In the meantime, Chaudhary has a following in jail thanks to his notoriety and street smarts, and he is given special treatment. Chaudhary's life changes when Jyoti Deswal, a new superintendent, shows up at the jail. Chaudhary's perks are taken away by the unflappable and direct Jyoti, who also treats him like any other prisoner. Ineffective attempts to buy off the court resulted in Chaudhary's urgent bail plea being turned down.

After a dispute, Jyoti humiliates Chaudhary by bringing up his lack of education—he dropped out of school in the eighth grade—and assigns him to work constructing chairs in the jail workshop because he is unfit for any other job. This motivates Chaudhary to study and pass the 10th-grade examinations in order to earn his high school diploma, as well as the fact that convicts pursuing 10th-grade graduation are excused from working. Jyoti thinks this is a con, but she can't do much about it because Chaudhary is allowed by Indian law to finish his studies. Until he is motivated by a history textbook that describes India's struggle for independence, Chaudhary struggles to remain interested in his studies and frequently nods off. At that point, he starts to take his academics much more earnestly. He promises to never accept the position of Chief Minister again if he fails his examinations.

As Bimmo gets ambitious and plans to make her temporary position permanent, Chaudhary is advised to pretend to be mentally sick in order to receive asylum at a plush hospital. By exposing Chaudhary's lies, Jyoti prevents this, protecting his career in the process because those who are found to be mentally ill are barred from running for office. Chaudhary has a little heart attack, and Jyoti does CPR to rescue him, angering Bimmo. With assistance from other prisoners he has made friends with, Chaudhary makes academic progress but has trouble reading Hindi because he can't see the alphabet. He also appears to have dyslexia in that language.

By organising the release of the convict who is assisting Chaudhary with Science and fixing the Examination Time Table so that Hindi exam comes first, Bimmo is attempting to make it impossible for Chaudhary to pass the exams. Jyoti accepts to assist Chaudhary since she can see the character transformation that the emphasis on education has caused in him. They gain respect for one another as they advance.

The processing of Chaudhary's bail application results in his release, but Jyoti keeps this information from him so he can concentrate on his academics. Chaudhary shows up for his tests but is unsure of his performance. When he is freed, he learns that Jyoti disguised the approval of his bail request. Jyoti is dismayed by Chaudhary's stubbornness when she comments on how schooling has improved him and gives him advice on how to use his newfound knowledge to assist the public. Chaudhary dismisses her and says he won't change. However, when Chaudhary reenters politics, he learns that Bimmo has seized the CM position and that his own party does not back him. He joins forces with an opposition party and runs for office with education as his top priority.

Results for both the election and the exams are due on same day. Chaudhary hurries back to jail to find that he passed the examinations as the votes are being tallied. He gives Jyoti a chair he constructed in the workshop as her Gurudakshina as an expression of his thanks. Following the electoral victory of his new party, Chaudhary makes peace with Bimmo. In favour of becoming the Minister of Education, he declines the position of Chief Minister. He makes it a point to thank Jyoti and the other prisoners who assisted him in passing the exams during his swearing ceremony.
