Synopsis

The movie centres around Sundeep Cheema (Gurpreet Ghuggi), a man married to two women. Both of his wives, Anu (Misha Bajwa) and Jasmeet (Khushboo Grewal), are unaware of the existence of the other and believe that Cheema has business-related reasons that he has to be away from them half of the time. While Sundeep is leading a happy life, the balance of his duality is threatened when Jeeta (Gippy Grewal) comes into his life. Jeeta falls head over heels for Preet (Ragini Khanna), a match that Sundeep is firmly against. Sundeep is aware of Jeeta's notorious past, and Jeeta is privy to Sundeep's dual existence, leading to a comedy of errors in which both sides know the deepest and the most intimate secrets of the other. This leads to a battle of wits and charm wherein two friends encounter further problems.
