Chirag (Manoj Joshi) and Gaurav (Akshaye Khanna). Janaradhan
has done everything for his kids to bring them up in the
best possible manner, ever since they were toddlers. Now
when the duo has grown up, Gaurav takes up the
responsibility of his father. They both manage the household
chores and their business to the best of their abilities.
Though Gaurav is the younger son, he treats his father like
his son. Gaurav is on guard with the vigilance of a
disciplined parent. He shouts, threatens, and fights - even
locks up his father occasionally so that his prankster best
friend Madhav Mathur (Om Puri) who is a divorcee and
desperate to get married, does not spoil him. Madhav and
Janaradhan who are always in search of a bride for Madhav
always keep landing up in trouble and every time Gaurav has
to bail them out and face the embarrassment. |

notice changes in the behavior of Janaradhan and
Anuradha when they come face to face after many
years. They come to know about their past
relationship. Now Gaurav wants his father to get
married to his lost love. |

each other. Of course, the path is not so smooth: there are
obstacles. But then, Madhav's desperate desire for a bride
comes handy. How this trio tries to arrange Janaradhan's and
Anuradha's love marriage is a fun ride to watch.
