But he had to marry them or else they would commit suicide. He makes excuses so that he can spend one night with each wife. On his friend Karan's advice (Varun Sharma), he buys three flats on different floors in one building for each wife. He and Karan experience hilarious circumstances with each of his wives. He also has a girlfriend, Deepika (Elli Avram), who he thinks is first wife whom he'll be marrying according to his will under the name, Kumar. Deepika's father (Manoj Joshi) accepts him as his son-in-law. On one evening before 'Karva Chauth', Deepika's father notices Kumar with all his three wives one-by-one, but Kumar succeeds in escaping by telling a lie that it was an April Fool triggered by all of wives. In the meantime, all his wives become good friends. Deepika's father again has a problem with Kumar that the employee working in his office is engaged to the given photo, as it showed Kumar to Deepika's father. Due to this, Deepika decides to marry in court and Kumar agrees that will be the easiest way to marry without any tensions, but the relationship of his mother and father, which was ruined fifteen years ago when his father married someone else started liking each other again. The two knew that Kumar have two wives, but not yet of the full truth, they come to know that he's gonna marry the third one; Deepika. Karan and Deepika keep waiting. After waiting for a long time, Kumar comes to Deepika, but as he sees his three other wives, he hides behind a wall. Karan tells Deepika and her friends that Kumar went hospital to help his friend, as one of his wives praised, 'God gives that husband to everyone', which is disliked dialogue by Kumar from all her three wives. Karan tells to postpone the marriage to two days later, her friends went away, left is Deepika who is sad, but Kumar comes from the wall telling his friend is okay; a lie, and now they can marry, but Deepika tries to call her friends, and is stopped by Kumar as he says to go to temple to marry as it is late already and sends Karan to bring Temple marrying things. In time, Deepika's father arrives and takes them to office and calls his employee and asks if Kumar is engaged to her. The lady says no and Deepika's father apologizes to Deepika and Kumar as he knows that Deepika put the photo there too as the employee did and she didn't show it as she was frightened and Deepika's father decided to fire his employee to make him doubt on his future son-in-law but Kumar saves her job and deepu's father decides to celebrate the marriage pleasantly. On the day of their marriage, all his three wives arrive. Shiv Ram Kishan's parents also arrive, as it is too hard to know the face as Kumar and Debika decided to make everyone dressed in marriage clothes so nobody can recognize Kumar or even themselves. Tiger (Arbaaz Khan) is in the search of a guy, so he makes everyone to put down their 'pagdi' as Kumar had to put his padgi down which he didn't but in time, Tiger's(Anjali's brother) men brought the guy and Kumar is saved. The marriage keeps going. By chance the face of Shiv Ram Kishan comes in front of fire as he tried to put all mud in the fire and all four of them come to know the truth along with his parents that he didn't break heart of his three wives. They forcefully made Kumar to marry, someone didn't even listen to him, or even asked him that is he married as someone was about to commit suicide by falling into the well and he cannot leave them commit suicide by telling that they are already married, the one whose heart he broke is Deepika, his true love. As soon he ends, everyone cries and her mother hugs him tightly and Deepika's father asks Deepika for what's her choice.

Critical reception

Bollywood Hungama gave the film three stars out of five, citing the film as a perfect vehicle for Sharma's transition from television, the directors' successful transition from action to comedy, and the screenplay and dialogues as "extremely engaging" while calling the music a letdown.^[9]

Rohit Bhatnagar of Deccan Chronicle wrote that Varun Sharma's portrayal of Karan was comic, but the screenplay was "dismal", the music was "ear piercing" and the dance numbers were "sleazy", with Kapil Sharma's dancing described as "stiff".^[10]

Martin D'Souza from Glamsham said that "All credit goes to Kapil Sharma, who is making his debut on the big screen. A well-known name on television, it is Kapil's comic timing and assurance of turning a nondescript scene into something humongously hilarious is what tilts the scales in favour of this film. A fine actor, who does not go overboard, or who does not find himself lost in any situation. Even the most ridiculous of scenes, he turns on its head without looking like a buffoon and that is a huge plus for any actor. On second thoughts, I cannot see any present-day actor who would put life in these dead scenes."^[11]

Renuka Vyavahare of The Times of India gave the movie 2 out of five stars, saying, "The girls look pretty and the samandar song is beautiful but if you want to see the film solely for Kapil's brand of humour, you get babaji ka thullu."^[12]

Subhash K. Jha of SKJ Bollywood News gave the movie 3 out of five stars, saying, "Off and on Abbas Mustan's purported comedy will remind you of the Govinda comedies directed by David Dhawan and Anees Bazmi's Sandwich. To his credit Kapil carries off the lighter moments with elan."^[13]
