Plot

Ashok and Kumar are best friends. Shanaya and Mishti are their love interests. Ashok's father is a billionaire but has been in a coma for the last six years. During these years, Ashok's maternal uncle, Kunwar Amar Nath Singh (KANS Mama) has been in charge of his family property. Having enjoyed the money, Mamaji does not want to give up that money to Ashok, who is now old enough to take over. So the evil Mamaji teams up with an evil doctor and chemist, Dr. Khan, to get rid of Ashok (without murder) and keep control of his property. Dr. Khan gives Mamaji a medicine called MAD (Mind Altering Drug) which makes one act and speak like a dog for 24 hours. At first, Mamaji is reluctant and angry at Dr. Khan. But Mamaji then sees the medicine work on Dr. Khan’s two assistants (Chinku and Pinku) and agrees.
