** Their new path is complicated when two Indian con women, Poonam and Babita, arrive with an elaborate ruse, posing as royalty—Maharani Padmavati and Rajkumari Chandni of Najafgarh—to fleece the brothers of money.

The deception deepens when it’s revealed that Uday has a half-sister named Ranjana from his father Shankar Shetty’s third marriage, and Shankar uses emotional pressure to push Uday and Majnu into arranging Ranjana’s marriage.
