Plot

[edit]

The film begins with Madhu, a topmost model who resorted to his work after being unable to cope with his wife Priya's death. However, he unintentionally neglects his naughty son, Kush Lav, who craves his father's affection. Kush Lav annoys everyone with his monkey business via telephonic conversations. During this time, he becomes acquainted with a girl named Sneha and develops friendships with her. Once, Madhu disputed with a loony Banerjee for his land, where he had graved Priya. Accidentally, Sneha is the half-sister of Banerjee, whom he perturbs for the property. So, she absconds and, fortuitously, takes shelter at Madhu's residence. Before long, Sneha & Kush Lav develop inseparable bondage. After a while, Banerjee detects Sneha's whereabouts and forcefully takes her back. Due to this, Kush Lav gets upset and turns rebellious, which culminates in Madhu's slap. Afterward, he repents, apologizes to Kush Lav, and promises to return Sneha. At her residence, Banerjee mistreats Madhu, leading to a brawl in which Kush Lav gets hit. Later, Madhu notices an illness in Kush Lav, and he finds out it is an internal severe hemorrhage and urgent surgery is required. Now, there is less time for Madhu to spend with his son, and Madhu wants to fulfill all the promises given to him before the operation. Accordingly, he moves for Sneha when Benerjee vigorously goes to knit. Madhu relieves Sneha from Banerjee's clutches, and the three proceed toward a temple, where Kush Lav witnesses his mother Priya's soul under the illusion of leading to his survival. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the marriage of Madhu & Sneha.
