The head of the household is played by Ishrat Ali.

Their stay in the house gets extended when they learn than the hostage's father has gone abroad and they have to wait until he returns. The kidnappers are forced to take more hostages to keep their identity secret and prevent the kidnapping venture from failing. Eventually other people are stuck in the house, such as: Mughale Azam (pizza guy), Gunpat Kale (police constable), Julie (sales girl), Sharad Shetty (guy who wants money from Kantilal shah), Munish Mehta (real estate guy) What follows is a "mad-mad comedy of errors". Manisha Koirala plays the part of a sales girl who is dragged into the fray when she arrives in the house in order to sell then shampoo.

[edit] Reviews

The movie is a Bollywood comedy and was not reviewed well. While some called it a "thrilling comedy" other reviewers regarded it as an innovative theme that "ran out of steam" midway into the plot. The performance was regarded as "lackluster".
