He and his family are thrilled but, after the arrival of his long lost uncle, his life starts spiraling out of control. Konkana Sen Sharma plays his wife, Munmun, an interior designer, who is sweet and accommodating with high family values. When their quirky guest becomes unbearable, she must put her foot down. Paresh Rawal is Chachaji � eccentric, unpredictable and opinionated but also warm and loving. Chachaji has no idea of the plans being calculated to hasten his departure. The director says it�s a simple story that will make you smile, laugh and cry but also will make you think.
