Rahul Malhotra (Aamir Khan) is a young, carefree heir to a textile empire. However, after his sister and her husband die in a tragedy, Rahul becomes the sole guardian of their three mischievous children—Sunny, Munni, and Vicky. The children are chaotic, constantly getting expelled from school and running away from nannies. Subtitles here highlight the children’s witty Hindi banter and Rahul’s exasperated sighs.
Rahul’s family wants him to marry a wealthy, snobbish woman named Maya (Navneet Nishan). In contrast, he accidentally meets Vyjayanti "Viju" Iyer (Juhi Chawla), a naive, dreamy girl who has run away from her strict father (Dinesh Hingoo) to avoid an arranged marriage. Subtitles beautifully capture Viju’s mix of Tamil-accented Hindi and her poetic ideals about love.
To secure a loan for his struggling business, Rahul needs to appear as a stable family man. He hires Viju to pose as his wife and the children’s mother for a week. The comedy escalates as Viju tries to discipline the kids—leading to slapstick scenes involving sneezing powder, flooded bathrooms, and broken crockery. English subtitles often use playful fonts for the children’s dialogues, emphasizing their cunning yet lovable nature.
