About 100 years ago, Smt. Lakshmibai, the wife of Shri Dagdusheth Halwai of Pune city, established
a Dutt Temple, a great devotee of Bhagwan Gurudutt, by the order of his Guru Sri Madhavnath Ji, a resident of Indore.
Roshan is initially stunned by the mad rush of neighbours: Ali Baig(Rishi Kapoor) the renaissance man, feuding brothers Madangopal(Om Puri) and Jaigopal(Pavan Malhotra), their wives and families,
Mamdu(Deepak Dobriyal) the Halwai, Gobar(Atul Kulkarni) the simpleton, Sethji and many others.
