He is forced to work at an insurance company and later goes to a city called Haridwar to study.

The movie wants to show that even a 'zero' can become a hero.
Reviewers gave the movie 2.5 stars out of 5 and liked the acting, especially by Himansh Kohli and Shilpa Shinde.

Aryabhatt Ka Zero, an 'almost ode' to Indian inventor Aryabhatt and his invention of zero, is set in modern times and is this week's Bollywood release.
Himansh Kohli stars as Bhaggu, who begins studying for UPSC exams after his love Rinku (Sonnalli Seygall) marries a well-off SDM officer.
After failing his first attempt and being pushed into an insurance job, Bhaggu moves to Haridwar, where Rinku funds his UPSC preparation.
Anti-corruption officials arrest Rinku's husband for accepting a bribe, leading Bhaggu to be jailed through no fault of his own before a shocking incident changes everyone's lives.
The film earned 2.5 stars, with praise for Kohli's sincere de-glam performance and Shilpa Shinde's standout role, while the music was called average.
