Synopsis: Sher Singh lives with his mother and handicapped sister in Punjab but moves to Mumbai, changes his name to Shekhar, meets Nisha and falls in love. When his mother asks him to return, he explains to Nisha that if he takes her before they are married the people would make an issue of it and promises to return in 4 days. On his return, Shekhar is surprised to find out that the Zamindar's son is ready to marry his sister. His mother tells him that the Zamindar's daughter Sweety loves him from their childhood days. The Zamindar had approached his mother to fix the marriage but she told him that she cannot fix her son's wedding until her daughter is married. Sweety's brother agreed to the marriage for as his mother says, brothers are those who sacrifice everything for their sister's happiness. He has no alternative and marries Sweety. So, during the day Sher Singh stays with Sweety and at night Shekhar stays with Nisha. One day both of them meet Sher Singh and tell him that he cannot go till

fly darling son, you polished my shoes

What for?

Just like that.

- My son won't do that for no reasons

May I help you wear them?

- No, I'll put it on, on the way

Bye.

- Bye, Papa

Yes, Toni?

- It's done, Tuk-tuk

Good, good.

- I made a mark on his shoes

When your father comes home,

check

if he has the mark on his shoes.

- Okay

If you find the mark, then understand

that our father is two-in-one

Okay. Bye.

- Bye

Papa's yes-man ! How long

will you wait for him? Go to bed

I have very urgent work with Papa

Tuk-tuk, my son

- Papa!

You're back?

- No, it's my ghost

Why do you look so tired?

- I was dancing all day in the office

'why don't you give me straight answers

- You are asking crooked questions

Won't a person get tired

after working all day?

Why work so hard? Always working!

You don't have time for me

You come home tired late in the night,

and then you leave early morning

God knows what's wrong with you !

- You come home tired in the night

and then you leave early morning?

Same lines at both the places!

Clever devil. What are you staring at?

- Your shoes

Do you also want to polish them?

- Let me take them off

Really? Why will you take them off?

- My teacher says, there's heaven

at the feet of our parents.

- The teacher seems much interested

When did she tell you that?

- This evening, over the phone

Teaching you over the phone, eh?

All right, take them off

One is helping me wear them,

the other is taking them off

ls it time for a shoe-beating?

What is it? Why are you

staring at me? What happened?

Nothing.

- Your tone and your expression

tell me that something's wrong.

What happened?

A lot has happened.

- A lot?

What is he stamping his feet for?

That one did something to the shoes

And this smart one saw something

and says a lot has happened

Something's fishy

Hi Tuk-tuk

Hello Papa.

- Hi

Not papa. Uncle

Not uncle, Papa. We have found out,

you are not different

you are one and the same.

- The two of you are raving

Tuk-tuk drew on his daddy's palm,

how did I find it on my Papa's palm?

Yesterday he made a mark on his daddy

shoes. How did I find it on my Papa's?

It means you are the same

from palm to toe

You are mistaken, son

We are not mistaken.

We give you two days

You will tell my mother the truth.

- My mother too

Else, we'll expose you.

- Really?

After two days

you will expose me?

Yes, we will

Save my masquerade

Save my masquerade

Save my masquerade!

- Shekhar

Stop hanging like Damocles' sword

over my head. Sit

I got an idea.

- Who?

I got.

- Clear it

If only you let me speak.

- Go ahead

Thank you. Shekhar, if your wives see

their husbands together

How? Explain it. Shekhar is not

a film scene that we can copy

It's so confusing. Make it clear.

- I'm the director

I'll shoot them in double role,

it'll save his masquerade

But Shekhar, it'll be expensive

I'd rather spend than earn infamy

Mr Chelaramani, my sons

are smarter than me

It's a matter of pride but I don't know

Why it hurts. Please save my masquerade

Save my masquerade.

- It'll be fine

Ms Nisha, you should've come to

the party, you'd have had such fun

Your husband and I had

so much fun

the entire party was left gaping

with their eyes wide open

Their voice went digital.

- Really?

And what happens later is the

funniest thing I've ever seen

The two of us saw ourselves

standing right before us

Four of you?

- Yes, four

Then I saw a video camera on.

We were actually on a video screen

That's when I realised that

it was a stealth shot

Really?

- Since it was amazing, I thought

of giving you a recorded cassette.

Shall I play it for you?

Sure.

- I'll show you. Just watch

So you took the video guy

along with you, eh?

Smart Alec

Ms Nisha, your son is amazing

You must've seen a lot of detective

movies while you were pregnant, I guest

He's just the size of a carrot,

but he's a self-styled detective

When you go to grand parties,

you don't take the video guys along

So just watch

and pass no comments

Enjoy the video

That's funny

Oh my God

Which means even your son Tuk-tuk

suspects you?

And why not? He's Nisha's son

But why does he suspect that

the two of us are one and the same?

He said he'll expose me.

- Expose?

If the two of them see us talking to

each other, they will be left gaping

In fact, all the four will be

left gaping. Count the big girls too

Anything to say, Tuk-tuk?

- No, but I want to

show you something.

Toni

Pirated cassettes of "Twins" and

"Duplicate" ? What does that mean?

In Duplicate there were

two Shah Rukh Khans

But are there really

two Shah Rukh Khans?

And in Twins, there were two

'Salman Khans. But are there really two

But you guys are two

Yes, and we are seen together

We can shake hands, wring ears,

even hug each other

Why don't we see you guys together?

- Why don't we see you guys together'

Your daddy is a busy man

Your daddy is a big man,

he has no time to spare

As for me, I have enough time

Ms Nisha, I'm taking this no more.

Next time, tell Shekhu to be present

Shekhu?

- Shekhar. He's my friend now

From now on, we will play together,

hold our noses, wring our ears

hug each other

we'll do everything together

But how? And when?

Ma!

Sire you remember me?

Yes, you remember me.

I'm the one with two wives

As you said I'll be married twice,

I am

But these days, I'm in trouble.

- Don't consider it to be trouble

Please explain. If this is

not trouble, is it a joke then?

This is not trouble. This is what

you movie people call a trailer

The real trouble is yet to come.

Soon

Ominous

Sire, my life has become

a documentary on earthquakes

And you say it's just a trailer.

So what lies ahead?

You will know when it hits you, son

You will know

You will know then

Why did he keep repeating it?

A tempest is approaching I guess

I must do something.

How many more acts will you perform

For Nisha, you are right now

If Shekhar is to fly in

Sher Singh must go somewhere.

- Where?

Thank you

The flight from Singapore has landed,

he should be here now

I'll leave now. It's also time

for Tom's papa to arrive

What are you doing here? Have you

planned to stay here for good?

Oh no, I was actually leaving

- Never mind, I'm here

Actually, I'm going on a trip to Goa

for fifteen days

I thought of meeting my wife

before leaving

A new excuse

See you. Take care.

- Bye

Hi carbon copies! What are you

copying from each other?

No, we are making maps

I'm drawing Singapore

while he's mapping Goa

These boys are devils

Bye Sweety. Bye, Ms Nisha.

- Mr Sher Singh, please wait a while

our friend should be here any moment

- No, I'm going by car

Have to negotiate the hills, you see.

- Yes mummy, he has to go

If he doesn't go,

how will he return?

So confusing.

It's not very clear

Moron ! If Sher Singh doesn't leave,

how will Shekhar return?

What are you guys trying to say?

My Papa leaves
