The trailer starts with Jitendra Kumar introducing himself as Meenu, aka 'Magic Meenu,' who is a part-time lover and a full-time magician. Meenu lives in a football-loving town Neemuch, and is part of a football colony team, but has no skills in sports. His teammates also have their own eccentricities and their coach, played by Jaaved, struggles to motivate them to win an inter-colony tournament. Meenu, meanwhile, ignores his coach's requests and focuses on his magic.

Directed by Sameer Saxena and written by Biswapati Sarkar, the Netflix original will start streaming on the platform on July 15. The film is produced by Posham pa Pictures and Chalkboard Entertainment. As per the official synopsis, “Set in a football-loving town Neemuch, Jaadugar is a story of a small-time magician, Meenu, with no athletic skill who must prove his worth in a prestigious inter-colony football tournament, in order to marry the love of his life. There are just two things against him – the girl doesn’t love him back and his team hasn’t won a game in years!”
