, Om Puri
, Shobana and Rajpal Yadav
. The story is adapted from the 2001 Malayalam film Ishtam
directed by Sibi Malayil
. It was released on 13 June 2008.It is one of the best comedy films made in recent years, though the later part is little bit serious and still enjoyable. Genelia, Paresh Rawal and Om Puri steal the show. The sequences between Genelia, Akshay, Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav and the strick police officer Archana Puransingh are interestingly enacted. The songs were not necessary in this film.
Now the duo has grown up, and Gaurav takes up the responsibility for his father. They manage the household chores and their business to the best of their abilities. The younger son treats his father like his son. Gaurav is on guard with the vigilance of a disciplined parent. He shouts, threatens, fights, and even locks up his father occasionally so that his prankster best friend Madhav Mathur — who is a divorcé and desperate to get married — does not spoil him. Madhav and Janaradhan who are always in search of a bride for Madhav forever land up in trouble and every time Gaurav has to bail them out and face the embarrassment.
Gaurav, busy managing his business, starts getting prank calls from a girl who turns out to be his old college friend Sheekha Kapoor. Sheekha is staying with her guardian Anuradha who was Janardhan's first love. Gaurav and Sheekha notice changes in the behavior of Janaradhan and Anuradha when they come face to face after many years. They learn about their past relationship. Now Gaurav wants his father to get married to his lost love. Gaurav and Sheekha embark upon a rib-tickling journey to arrange his father's love marriage and, in the process, find soul mates in each other. Of course, the path is not so smooth: there are obstacles. But then, Madhav's desperate desire for a bride comes handy.
