When Toolsidas, an ace snooker player, who 'only plays for his son', loses an important tournament to arch-rival Jimmy Tandon, his son Mridul Toolsidas aka Midi decides to fulfill his father's dream. Along this journey, guidance comes from the most unlikely source - former snooker national level ex champion Mohammad Salaam, who now trains lowly players.
Due to its non-starter status at the box office, Toolsidas Junior had a direct-to-television world release, a rare instance at the time, on Sony Max, premiering on 23 May 2022. On 25 May 2022, just two days after its television premiere, the film was made available for streaming on Netflix.[6]
The film has only one song, composed by Daniel B. George, who also wrote the background score. Titled "Udd Chala", the song is sung by Sachet Tandon and Ujjwal Kashyap, with lyrics by Swanand Kirkire.
