Storyline
Complications, impersonations and moral dilemmas arise when a Punjabi pretends to be a Tamil in order to obtain accommodation in New Delhi. An eloquent and entertaining plea for national unity that manages to showcase several cultural traditions whilst encouraging people to laugh both with and at each other.
Jalandhar-based Punjabi-speaking Anand Khanna re-locates to New Delhi, looks for a room to rent and is shunned by a variety of Marwari, Sindhi, Gujarati, and Bengali landlords. He decides to change his name to Anandkumar Swami, and gets a room with Tamil-speaking Subramaniam. He falls in love with his landlord's daughter, Janaki, and wants to marry her without realizing that neither of their respective families will ever consent to this 'Hindustani' marriage.
