A fake fiancé, a furious grandpa, and a con that snowballs into chaos. Peak '90s Bollywood energy.
After the passing away of his son and Caucasian daughter-in-law, London-based widower Purshotam Agarwal brings up his granddaughter, Namrata, on his own. When she matures, he pressurizes her to get married to Tikamgarh-based Ranveer's son. She travels to India, and much to his chagrin refuses to get married to the boy of his choice, and instead brings back a wealthy male named Romi, who she claims is her fiancé. Little does Purshotam know that Romi is not who he claims to be, and that Namrata has no intention of marrying him either.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Arshad Warsi's second lead role after Tere Mere Sapne, attempting to establish him as a solo hero before his iconic Circuit era.
The film captures peak '90s NRI anxiety—London-based grandparents forcing arranged marriages while second-generation Indians negotiate hybrid identities. Kader Khan's character name 'Topi' literally means 'hat,' slang for being conned.
