The film centers on a peculiar case involving a mysterious curry that causes anyone who eats it to lose their sense of taste.

The narrative begins when a renowned curry chef, Dr. Curry, creates a new recipe that becomes an instant sensation. However, shortly after its release, people across the city begin reporting that they can no longer taste anything after consuming the curry.
