Suraj swears on his mother to again buy their palace in any circumstances and make his mother happy.

Chota Ravan ([[Shakti Kapoor]]), a rowdy opponent to Lilly, teases Suraj a lot and he falls sick.

Meanwhile, in hell, Yamraj ([[Kader Khan]]) (God of death) and Chitragupt ([[Asrani]]) misplace a book called ''Bhavishyavaani'', which shows the future of man. The book somehow falls on the roof of Suraj's house, he benefits a lot by reading predictions of the future in the book and becomes rich and Chota Ravan is surprised how Suraj became rich in a short time. Lord [[Brahma]] warns Yamraj and Chitragupt that within one month they should find the book, otherwise they lose their supernatural powers. On earth, Suraj again buys their palace and takes his mother to it and he asks his mother if she wants anything else. She asks him to get married, so Suraj again opens the book to see whether his marriage will happen with Lilly or not. He then reads that his mother will die that night at 10 PM. To fulfill his mother's last wish, Suraj plays a marriage drama with Lilly, but accidentally his mother does not die and Lilly reveals all this drama which leads to his mother's anger and she stops talking to him until he really brings back Lilly as her daughter-in-law.

Meanwhile, Yamraj and Chitragupt reach earth in search of the book. As they reach earth, they face a lot of problems as everyone thinks of them as some drama company artists. Suraj saves them once and realizes that they are the real Yamraaj and Chitragupt and his mother didn't die because they do not have the book. To protect his mother, Suraj traps Yamraj with the help of a girl Lata ([[Tisca Chopra]]). After some time, Yamraj gets to know the truth and also understands that the book is with Suraj.
