Story of the film
Aftab Shivdasani, Chunky Pandey, Zakir Hussain, and Snehal Dabi play four small-time criminals who turn to kidnapping in order to make some quick cash. Isha Sharvani plays the millionaire’s daughter who is kidnapped, and they demand one crore. They are compelled to enter the 35-member vegetarian Gujarati family’s home by force. Ishrat Ali portrays the household’s head.
When they find out that the hostage’s father has left the country and they must wait till he returns, their time in the house is extended. In order to conceal their identities and protect the kidnapping operation from failing, the kidnappers are compelled to capture more captives. Later, more people find themselves trapped within the home, including Munish Mehta, a real estate agent, Gunpat Kale, a police officer, Julie (Manisha Koirala, a saleswoman), Sharad Shetty, a man who demands money from Kantilal Shah, and Mughale Azam, a pizza delivery man. Comedy of errors is what happens next.
When Taneja eventually shows up, he hands the money to the four kidnappers. However, the four start fighting, and Taneja then phones the police. Isha claims that Ajay Goga Raghu and not Abbas are innocent when the kidnappers appear in court. After 16 months, Ajay owns a hotel and collaborates with Mughale Azam, Isha and Ajay become friends, Julie collaborates with Raghu on sales, Goga has a sweet shop, Ganpat Kale is a police driver rather than a cop, Abbaas is imprisoned, and the Shah family leads a happy life.

Review of the film
The film received mixed reviews, with some calling it a “thrilling comedy” that “ran out of steam” halfway through the story. The acting was subpar, and viewers complained that the actors pushed way too hard to get people to laugh but failed terribly. The performance was described as “lackluster.” The movie struggled at the box office.
