Dharam Singh and Gajodhar Singh (Dharmendra and Bobby Deol) are a father-son duo who are con-men who pull off hilarious cons on unsuspecting people. But,with Paramveer Singh Dhillon (Sunny Deol),a brawny and honest NRI from Vancouver landing up at Benaras,

confusion strikes. Dhillon claims to be Gajodhar’s elder brother. Eventually due to Dhillon’s muscle-power,he is accepted by Dharam Singh and Gajodhar Singh into their fold.

Meanwhile Gajodhar falls in love with Saheba (Kulraj

Randhawa). As their romance blossoms her brothers arrive and forcibly take her away. Paramveer then makes a crazy plan to win Gajodhar’s lady love,which leads the trio to the rustic heartlands of Punjab. What follows is a roller-coaster ride.

Director Samir Karnik says:

If I have to define the Deols in a couple of words I would say that Sunny Deol is a witty,Dharamji had a great sense of humour and Bobby Deol is chilled-out. They are con-men in the film but in their real-life these men have a heart of gold. On the shoots Sunny and Bobby Deol had a great deal of respect for their dad. It was a great experience working with the Deols. They are masters in what they do.

The Buzz

In the film Bobby Deol spoofs the famous Sholay scene by climbing up a tank and threatening to commit suicide unless he gets his lady love.
