A middle-class Delhi family is excited about their new South Delhi house that they are going to move into. Well at least Mr. Kamal Kishore Khosla (Kher), the senior-most member of the family, is extremely excited. He has used all of his life's savings in purchasing the plot and is now preparing to build the palace of his dreams. On one family excursion to the plot, they discover a huge fence bearing the name of 'Khurrana House' standing at the place where their plot is supposed to be. On further probing they are informed that Kishan Khurrana (Irani) is a well-known scamster who usurps property illegally and then tries to make money by re-selling it. Unfortunately, Mr. K. K. Khosla has become a victim to Khurrana and must somehow pay him an additional sum of money if he wishes to get his plot back. Khosla's younger son, Chiraunji Lal Khosla aka Cherry (Dabas) takes no interest in the family matters and wants to move to the US and start a new life there, much to the disappointment of K. K. Khosla. With his plot falling into problems on one hand and his son's issues on the other, Khosla is in a mess and he needs some miracle if he needs to get out clean. Anupam Kher is one fine actor who knows how to deliver and there are very few of his movies that you could go wrong with. This movie is not the kinds that you would fall off your seats laughing but it has bursts of subtle humour. A good story and good performances is what you would definitely get, although some more twists, humour and an overall increase in excitement is what the movie desperately needs. It feels like a pasta that tastes really good but doesn't look like it should.

Thumbs up: Great acting
Thumbs down: Needs more humour and some overall entertainment

Rating: 7.2/10
