Synopsis

Raj Kumar (Mahesh Babu) goes on holiday in Khandala and stays with his uncle Dhananjay (Prakash Raj). He comes across Rani (Preity Zinta) and falls for her. However, he ends up teasing her and she begins to despise him. She is determined to avoid him, but he won't leave her alone. Raj Kumar saves Rani from some thugs, and she is impressed. After spending some time together, she begins to like him and eventually love him.

Unfortunately his uncle has made other plans for him: He reveals the past of the hero's parents and his family. He mentions the challenge that he made with his in-laws to get the hero married to his daughter. Complying to this, the hero informs the heroine that their relationship needs to end there.

Going with his uncle to the village for his uncle's daughter, to his joy he sees that it's none other than Rani.

The rest of the movie revolves around the plot that is woven by him and his uncle to gain the heroine's hand and re-uniting the uncle with his family. This is done in a fun, comical way.

gollark: I feel like it would be more efficient to move that into one process which can then do dependency management and stuff.
gollark: `runsvdir` has one `runsv` process *per service*? Huh.
gollark: You could avoid having to maintain some kind of weird local-specific API for them, conveniently manage stuff on remote systems if you wanted to for whatever reason, and... okay that's about it.
gollark: > <@258639553357676545> yeah, but that should be separate from the service manage<@!309787486278909952> But you could make the `sv`/`systemctl` equivalent tools use that! It would be mildly convenient!
gollark: I thought runit just ran runsvdir or something which does all the actual *service* bits.
