Keshav ( Akshay Kumar ) has to marry a black buffalo because his father ( Panditji ) is a very religious and superstitious priest, and he believes that his son 's marriage to a black buffalo will help improve Keshav 's fortune. Keshav meets Jaya ( Bhumi Pednekar ), falls in love with her and eventually convinces her to marry him. But Keshav 's father is of the view that Keshav 's horoscope is such that he can and should only marry a girl who has got two thumbs on one of her hands. Since Jaya does not fulfil this requirement, Keshav gets an artificial thumb made and gives it to Jaya who wears it as a ring on her thumb. Keshav 's unsuspecting father agrees to their marriage. On her first morning in Keshav 's house, Jaya reluctantly goes to a field to defecate, but comes back agitated without defecating and complains about it to Keshav. Despite Keshav 's repeated attempts to convince Jaya to give up her stubbornness about needing a toilet, Jaya remains steadfast. He makes a couple of temporary adjustments to solve the problem without actually constructing a toilet in his house, but after a while, Jaya gets frustrated and leaves him to live at her parents ' house. After a futile attempt to convince his sarpanch and villagers to builds toilets in the village, Keshav, with the help of Jaya, contacts the concerned regulatory authority, and starts the construction of a toilet in his front yard. When the construction is finished, Keshav 's father and the sarpanch arrange to demolish the toilet while Keshav is still asleep. But Keshav wakes up before the toilet is completely destroyed and protects it from complete demolition. Jaya now files for a divorce in the local court citing the unavailability of a toilet in her husband 's house as the primary reason for seeking divorce. Due to its sheer absurdity, the case gets a lot of media attention. Politicians and the concerned government departments spring into action to hasten the process of constructing toilets in Keshav 's village. But Keshav 's father remains steadfast on his decision to not have a toilet in his house, until one day, his mother, while going out to defecate, falls on the doorstep, injures her hip and cries vehemently that she ca n't possibly walk to the fields to defecate, and that she must use the toilet that Keshav constructed in the front yard. After much reluctance, Keshav 's father gives in and helps his mother to the toilet. He then realises that a toilet is indeed a critical requirement within a household. On the day of the hearing of the divorce case of Keshav and Jaya, the judge gets an official notice from the Chief Minister 's office urging the judge to not grant their divorce as the construction of toilets in their village shall be started from the very next day. The couple comes out together happily. Keshav 's father apologises to Jaya for his foolish stubbornness. In the end credits, villagers are shown lining up to use mobile toilets outside their village while construction of toilets throughout the village goes on in full swing. Cast Akshay Kumar as Keshav Sharma Bhumi Pednekar as Jaya Sharma ( née Joshi ) Divyendu Sharma as Narayan ( `` Naru '' ) Sharma Anupam Kher as Dinanath ( `` DJ Kakka '' ) Joshi Sudhir Pandey as Pandit Vimalnath Sharma ( `` Panditji '' or `` Vimu '' ), Keshav and Naru 's father Atul Srivastava as Atul Joshi, Jaya 's Father Ayesha Raza Mishra as Vidya Joshi, Jaya 's mother Rajesh Sharma as Mathur Shubha Khote as Rampyari ( `` Dadi '' ) Sharma, Keshav 's grandmother Sachin Khedekar as Director Sana Khan as Keshav 's unnamed lover ( cameo ) Development The film is written by Siddharth Singh and Garima Wahal, the writers of the 2013 Hindi film Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram - Leela, and shares some similarities with a true event in which 19 - year old Priyanka Bharti fled her husband 's home in 2012, when there was no toilet. In the film, before the end credits, Toilet mentions that it is based on the story of Anita Narre from Madhya Pradesh who refused to go back to her husband Shivram 's home due to lack of toilet. Controversies A filmmaker named Praveen Vyas has sent a legal notice to the makers, claiming that ' Toilet - Ek Prem Katha ' has plagiarised scenes and dialogues from his documentary ' Manini ', also based on the same subject. Release The film released on 11 August 2017, before India 's independence day. Promotion Akshay Kumar dug a toilet in Madhya Pradesh to promote the film. The movie trailer was released on 11 June 2017. PM Modi called it a good effort to further the message of cleanliness, as per Swachh Bharat Abhiyan. Critical reception Meena Iyer of The Times of India gave the film 4 / 5 stars saying, `` Director Shree Narayan Singh holds up a mirror to society, showing us how our superstitious villagers, lazy administration and corrupt politicians have actually converted India into the world 's largest shit - pond. Women especially, are treated more insensitively than cattle ! ''. Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express rated the film 2 / 5 and said, `` It 's fitting that Akshay Kumar has greenlit and played the lead in this film, which is more a primer of How To Break Social Taboos and Make Toilets rather than a powerful social drama ''. Rohit Vats of Hindustan Times gave it 2.5 / 5 stars saying, `` Ek Prem Katha endorses the Indian government 's Swacch Bharat Abhiyaan so seriously that after a point it starts to look like that Priyanka Bharti ad featuring Vidya Balan ''. Writing for The Hindu, Namrata Joshi said, `` While some amount of potential ( eventually lost ) is visible in the first half, the second half of the film ends in a total mess ''. Anna MM of the Firstpost rated it 1.5 / 5 saying, `` The tragedy of Toilet : Ek Prem Katha is that minus stalking and the chamchagiri, it could have been a good film ''. Saibal Chaterjee of NDTV giving the film 2 / 5 stars, said, `` When what should at best have been a ten - minute public service film bloats into a two - and - a-half - hour, patience - testing, yawn - inducing Bollywood puff - job for a government scheme, it is bound to stink to high heaven. Toilet : Ek Prem Katha does ''. Rohit Bhatnagar of Deccan Chronicle gave the film 3.5 / 5 and said, `` Akshay Kumar, Bhumi Pednekar and Divyendu Sharma are sure to win you over with their quirky yet brilliant acts ''.
