The clip begins with music director and singer Vishal Dadlani talking about an ongoing political propaganda, and quoting Urdu poet and Bollywood lyricist Rahat Indori to convey his message. He further urges people to not be misled and to focus on issues that concern country’s education, healthcare and welfare as he says the growth of a country does not reside in blowing up a satellite or believing that we are in a state of war. The video then cuts to comedian Rajeev Nigam talking about how some issues are inflated like a balloon and brought forward to people to distract them from underlying core troubles that the country is going through. Tanu Weds Manu actor Mohd Zeeshan Ayyub, who also features in the video along with Paan Singh Tomar director Tigmanshu Dhulia and actress Sayani Gupta, also urges people to step out and vote for their choice of candidate.
