Three days before the festival, a doyen of the family—the much-loved and respected Girja Prasad Mandalia who is fondly known as Giju Kaka, fells in bathroom and goes into a coma.

Girja Prasad's nephew, Jagdish Mandalia aka Jaggu (Jackie Shroff), a popular Bollywood actor, receives this news from his father during a screening of his film and he leaves for hospital in Ahmedabad.

All of the family members and their neighbours visit Giju Kaka in the hospital, praying to Goddess Amba for his quick recovery.

Even in this difficult time, Prashant is busy with political endeavours and his plans to win a competition to prove himself to his boss, Babubhai.

Meanwhile, Jayubhai, Prashant's and Jaggu's cousin from the village, is on his way with his uncle and aunt (Girja Prasad's older brother and sister-in-law) and other relatives.

Prashant reveals his anger towards his father and how he could not be like "his favourite Jaggu", and that Girja Prasad never understood him and overlooked him in favour of his sister Deepti.

The next day, Jaggu and Prashant's cousin Nayna, daughter of Girja Prasad's elder and Ambalal's younger brother Natwarlal Mandalia, arrives from the United States with her husband, Eric and their young son Kris.
