Plot[edit]
In order to increase his allowance, Aditya, who settled in Birmingham has written to his uncle staying in Satara, that he is married although he is a bachelor. One-day uncle drops in unexpectedly in Birmingham. And Aditya is drawn into the vertex of intrigue when Uncle mistakes Pooja, Aditya's Best friend Manav's wife, as Aditya's wife & the neighbor's Ruby as Manav's wife. Aditya is basically honest and does not wish to deceive his uncle but.. does he have a choice. The Uncle is impressed by Pooja and also decides to steps up Aditya's allowance for choosing a pretty & sweet girl like Pooja to be his wife. Uncle also promises Pooja that he will step up the allowance further if they have a baby. This leaves Aditya with no choice but to carry on this act, very much to Manav Patel's discomfort.
Further complications arise when Ruby, the neighbor PK's wife drops in at the house, and Uncle mistakes her for Manav's wife. Complications keep tumbling when the nightfall's, and it's time to retire. Who goes to bed with whom? Manav is irked when Aditya suggests that since the Uncle is home, he (Aditya) will have to spend the night with Pooja and is further annoyed when he (Manav) has to spend the night in the Maid's room.
The situation reaches its climax when Uncle nearly catches Manav sneaking into Aditya & Pooja's room. But the plot becomes more hilarious when the next-door drunkard neighbor P.K. drops in the bed with Uncle and is mistaken for someone else. The indescribable confusion that follows builds into a rich complexity of mistaken identities, splendid farcical situations, and a climax of comic wizardry.
From here on the permutations become so intricate that it seems impossible that Aditya, Pooja & Manav can ever sort them out. But miraculously they do, so hilariously that the audience will keep rolling with laughter till the movie ends. A fast, funny plot makes this rip-roaring farce easy & enjoyable for the entire family.
