Story Line: U.S.-based Roshan Mehra's mother, Fatima, is Muslim, while his dad is
Hindu. When his ailing grandmother, Annapurna, wants to re-locate to
Delhi to spend her last days, he accompanies her. Upon arrival, they are
greeted by Ali Beg, who wanted to marry Fatima, but was not able to
disclose his feelings to her. He also gets to meet the Sharma family,
who hope that he will wed Rama, the daughter of Madan, who is busy
looking for a groom for his other rather rebellious daughter, Bittu, who
wants to be the next Indian Idol. He also gets to meet assorted Muslim
and Hindus, who welcome him with open arms, and he gets to witness that
lower caste Indians are still being shunned despite of modern technology
and the launching of satellites. When reports of a Kala Bandhar
terrorizing the community increases, Hindus start to suspect that it may
be a Muslim terrorist, while the Muslims fear that it may be a Hindu
political ploy to demolish a mosque.
