License To Scam

He has a license to shill… but his heart is licensed to scam.

Jeet Bond, Punjab’s smoothest secret agent with a license to shill, is dispatched by M (M for Maa) to dismantle SPECTRE — the Special Ponzi Enterprise for Total Economic Ruin & Extortion. From the baccarat tables of Monte Carlo to the dhabas of Amritsar, Jeet deploys his deadliest weapons: irresistible charm, questionable mutual funds, and a golden “License to Scam” that doubles as both a weapon and a very persuasive investment brochure.

When he falls for the villain’s fiery daughter (code name: Lassi Galore), Jeet must choose between completing his mission and finally settling down with the girl, the tractor, and the unlimited butter chicken. Explosive action, mid-chase bhangra, and more plot twists than a samosa later, the world’s most dangerous shill proves that true love always beats compound interest.

Why This Movie Exists

Because the spy genre needed desi swag, the scam economy needed roasting, and Bollywood needed its own 007 who can actually dance during a car chase. “License to Scam” is a loving, over-the-top parody that celebrates Punjabi flair, mocks get-rich-quick culture, and asks the important question: what if James Bond had a turban, a Royal Enfield that transforms into a submarine, and a heart bigger than his offshore accounts?

Iconic Dialogue

  • “The name’s Bond… Jeet Bond. Shaken? Stirred? Neither. My martinis are 80% lassi and 100% high-risk, high-reward.”

  • “Do you expect me to talk?” “No, Mr. Bond… I expect you to invest.”

  • “I have a license to shill… but for you, I’ll waive the processing fee.”

  • “This isn’t a gun. It’s a limited-time opportunity. Act now or regret it forever.”

  • “I came here to scam the world… but I stayed for the love… and the unlimited tandoori.”

Fun Facts

  • The movie’s official drink is the “Lassi 007” — shaken, not stirred, served in a martini glass with a floating gold coin.

  • Jeet Bond’s gadget watch doesn’t explode… it just shows you which crypto is about to rug-pull.

  • The famous tractor chase scene used 17 real decorated tractors and one very confused Aston Martin owner.

  • The film was shot in 007 days across Punjab, London, and one extremely suspicious offshore filming location that no longer exists on any map.

  • Original title considered: “From Punjab with Love (and a 47% APR).”

  • The golden “License to Scam” prop was so convincing that three crew members actually tried to invest in it.
