Pritam, nicknamed Pappu, is an elderly bus driver whose quiet routine is upended by the chaos created by his three good-for-nothing sons—Madhav, the group leader; Laxman, the poetic fool; and Lucky, the innocent mute—who are always up to some kind of scam or trouble. On the other side, Geeta, nicknamed Guddi, is an older woman whose two sons, Laxman and Gopal, run a water sports stall at the beach, funded by a local don, Vasooli Bhai.
