## Plot

Inder Bhalla, an aspiring song composer, is kicked out of his house by his father, Bhajanglal. Bhajanglal runs a bakery he wants Inder to work at, but Inder refuses due to his ambitions of becoming a successful song composer, resulting in him being kicked out. Inder travels to Thailand with his friend Ronny (Sumeet Vyas) who is also an ambitious song composer. Inder misses his mother, Pammi Bhalla, whom he hasn't talked to in several years. Inder gets a phone call from Cheema.
Cheema lies to Inder, telling him that his father sold the bakery and wants to give him some of the money from the sale. Inder flies back to India, hugging his girlfriend Nimmi goodbye at the airport, unbeknownst to the fact that she was also travelling to India on the same flight. When Inder and Nimmi reach India they catch the same taxi as Nimmi wants to visit Inder's house. Inder drops Nimmi at his house and goes to visit Cheema. There he finds out that his father has apparently been abducted by Cheema and his accomplices. Inder learns that over the years his father borrowed money from Cheema, and was unable to repay his debts. Cheema demands a ransom in order for Bhajanglal and Inder to stay alive. Inder and Bhajanglal go home to think of something. There, Inder finds out that his mother is suffering from Alzheimer's disease and Bhajanglal sends her to an ashram.
Inder, Bhajanglal, Pammi and Nimmi try to run away from Cheema. They go to a bank on their way to withdraw money from Pammi's brother's account. Bhajanglal signs the form due to Pammi's memory loss. There, Inder learns that his father has divorced his mother, increasing his hatred towards him. Bhalanglal tells Inder that it wasn't his fault and there were deeper reasons behind his and Pammi's divorce. After restituting what he has learnt, Inder realises that his father was always innocent and starts loving him again. Inder sells all his songs that he had composed to pay back Cheema, gets his parents married again, marries Nimmi, and renovates his father's bakery. The film ends with Inder, Nimmy, Bhajanglal and Cheema (now their friend) working at the now-profitable bakery.
