Parminder, Himanshu's neighbor falls in love with Himanshu for no logical reason and the two get engaged to get married. That's when this ridiculous story line takes a ridiculous turn.

It was a simple non happening take with a boring happy ending. No resistance, no conflict, no separation, no sad song, no climax nothing. And so our gifted dumb family sets out to stall the wedding. And then begins their journey to create all those missing stages in Himanshu's love story in order to make it legendary. How, in this hilariously hare brained process, they make a mess of everything and how at the incredibly ridiculous climax Himanshu eventually manages to win his love back, makes up the story of Khichdi-The Movie.
