| ==Plot==
| |
| The Randhawas are a [[Punjabis|Punjabi]] business family who own the prosperous Dhanlakshmi Sweets, named after their matriarch Dhanlakshmi Randhawa. Her husband, Kanwal Lund, is amnesiac and wheelchair bound after an accident soon after his marriage. Their son, Tijori, is much like Dhanlakshmi, and they commandeer over their household, including Tijori's meek wife, Punam, and their two adult grandchildren, Rocky and Gayatri. During an award ceremony for Tijori, Kanwal mistakes a lady for a woman named Jamini. Rocky, keen to help his grandfather, finds a photograph of Jamini and starts looking for her.
| |
|
| |
| Jamini is the grandmother of Rani Chatterjee, a famous television news anchor. Rani comes from an intellectual [[Bengalis|Bengali]] family whose mother, Anjali, is an English professor, and father, Chandon, is a professional [[Kathak]] dancer. Rocky and Rani decide to unite Jamini and Kanwal at the Randhawa house. Although initially confused, Kanwal eventually recognises Jamini and kisses her in front of his family. It is revealed that they had a brief extra-marital affair back in 1978. Rocky and Rani set up multiple meetings between their grandparents during which they start their own relationship.
| |
|
| |
| When Jamini asks Rani about Rocky, Rani dismisses it as a fling. Rocky tries to propose to Rani, but she rejects him, and they break-up. During a work trip to Kashmir, Rani realises her love for Rocky and returns to express the same. Because of the cultural differences between the two households, they decide to switch houses for three months, to break the patriarchal cycle prevalent in Indian society.
| |
|
| |
| Rani tries to make the women of Rocky's family more independent by sending Punam's singing clip to a contest and helping his sister, Gayatri (who is overweight and under-confident), secure a job, much to the anger of Dhanlakshmi and Tijori. Rocky finds himself being ridiculed by the Chatterjees for his lack of general knowledge. During a marriage ceremony of Rocky's friend, Dhanlakshmi suggests a dance performance of Chandon. Chandon is laughed at by the crowd when he performs an effeminate Kathak dance. Rocky apologises and endears himself to the Chatterjees by willing to change his patriarchal ways. He also starts attending Chandon's dance classes.
| |
|
| |
| At the [[Durga Puja]] celebrations, Rocky and Chandon dance together to "[[Dola Re Dola]]" which angers Tijori. During the confrontation that follows, Rani, in a fit of anger pushes Tijori, which angers Rocky, who finds it disrespectful. They decide to end their relationship. Back at the Randhawa house, Tijori tries to hit Punam during an argument, when she tries to assert herself. Seeing this, Rocky stands up against his father for the first time, and decides to leave the household along with his sister and mother. Kanwal on witnessing the altercation recognises his son but dies soon after. Jamini comes to pay her respects, and Tijori lets her do so despite Dhanlakshmi's protestation.
| |
|
| |
| A few months later, Tijori, a changed man, visits the Chatterjee household to apologise to the family and proposes a marriage between Rocky and Rani. They eventually marry; Dhanlakshmi sends the secret recipe of their sweets to Rani, seemingly accepting her as a family member, but does not attend.
