Hearing about Ghanti’s heart break, his friend Manchali Sharma decides to come to India to be with him, after all she loves him and he needs love now more than the gaon needs bijli. (electricity) Sky Patel (that’s American for Akash Patel) doesn’t want Manchali to meet Ghanti again as she always loved Ghanti since the time she was two and a half years old and Ghanti and Sky were 3 year old. It was love at first sight for both Manchali and Sky, only problem Manchali fell for Ghanti and Sky for Manchali.
So Sky was sure seeing him again will only spoil the setting for him. With Ghanti not in the picture any more Sky had tried his best to woo Manchali and only today morning at 10.30am she had agreed to marry him and at 10.35am came Ghanti’s phone call and now Manchali wanted to go to India.

Sky tried his best to stop Manchali, he came up with a plan to go to California and sabotage Beejli’s beauty parlour instead. Nothing could make Manchali change her mind, so Sky decided to accompany her leaving behind his research midway on the effect of last minute change of a bride or a groom in a Hindi movie climax, yes Sky Patel is a scientist. So the next day both of them are on board Air India to crash in India.

Ghanti is waiting at the Khujli gaon railway station for his childhood friends Sky and Manchali. The train arrives and there they are on the other end of the platform, wait a minute, is he hallucinating Manchali is in a saree. They come closer and a gust of wind blows, Manchali’s hair and pallu try to fly, she is frantically trying to hold her hair meanwhile the pallu has gone berserk, oops she leaves her hair and holds her pallu and drapes it back at the same moment her eyes meet Ghanti’s eyes. They are transfixed looking at each other, Ghanti……….Manchali………..Ghanti…………..Manchali….
Ghanti says kuch kuch hota hai Manchali, tum nahi samjhogi.
Sky is watching his fears unfold in front of his eyes. If only Manchali had pinned her pallu, but not her fault what did she know about draping sarees, she wasn’t the scientist he was.

Time for a song. A dream sequence involving these 3. Manchali is wearing a white saree in the song and it’s raining. Ghanti is bare chested and Sky is fully clothed.

“Tum pass aaye, pallu giraye, tumne na jaane kya sapne dikhaye
Ab toh mera dil jage na sota hai, kya karu haye kuch kuch hota hai.”

Ghanti takes his friends to the Sarpanch’s house; his house has a generator hence no problem about lights and air conditioning. They settle in and then set about the task of getting bijli to the gaon. After meeting a lot of people finally somebody tells them about this guy Divyaprakash (DP) who is a pro at getting bijli to gaons. After much searching they find his whereabouts, it seems every Thursday evening DP visits this new and famed club just on the outskirts of Khujli gaon.
Ghanti and Sky decide to go there, but convince Manchali to stay back (while they are going to the club, might as well have some fun)

Time for an item number!

At the club Shamita Shetty and Lara Dutta swinging to the remixed beats of
“Laila main laila laila, aisi hoon laila
har koi chahe mujhse milna akela.”

Item song over, the twosome corner DP and ask for his help. DP tells them the strategy to get bijli for each goan is different and to come up with a plan he has to know everything about the gaon. So Ghanti tells him all that he knows and also about this epidemic of Khujli. DP thinks for some time and comes up with a strategy that he shares with these two, but the strategy is still under wraps cause DP only whispers so that nobody even gets a sniff of the idea.

Ghanti and Sky go to Delhi and meet the concerned authorities for Bijli. They tell them if in a weeks time Khujli gaon doesn’t get electricity they will spread the Khujli epidemic everywhere. You see Sky being a scientist he has managed to catch hold of and store the virus in a small u-shaped glass tube. So now the authorities don’t have any choice and thanks to Ghanti and his friends Khujli goan gets electricity.

Sky tells Manchali that they should get married in India. Manchali is in a Duvidha, she knows Ghanti loves her but she has already given her zubaan to Sky, she can’t go back on it. Ghanti is miserable too, but what can he do after all this years of ignoring Manchali he cannot now ask her to sacrifice her love for Sky (Ghanti is under the impression that Manchali loves Sky) and after all Sky is his friend. Sarpanch chips in and says Manchali’s bidaai should happen from his house after all she is like his daughter and his real daughter had made him bend his head in shame.

Meanwhile Beejli is back, she has realised she really loves Ghanti and gives up her cosy life in the US and comes back. Since she is repenting and to prove that she has stopped giggling everybody accepts her back wholeheartedly including her father. She realizes that Ghanti doesn’t love her anymore he loves Manchali so on the Mehendi ki raat she goes to Manchali and tries to dissuade her from getting married to Sky after all not everybody is lucky to find true love and she was crazy to settle for less than that. Manchali says that now its too late she cannot change her decision and she doesn’t even know if Ghanti loves her he has never told her, only looked at her with an expression of longing in his eyes.

The day of wedding everybody is miserable, Sky because he knows Manchali is miserable and Beejli cause Ghanti is miserable. After completing few mantras the pandit asks to get the bride, that’s when Sky gets up from his seat and goes in search for Ghanti, everybody is surprised why is the bridegroom leaving now. He finds Ghanti outside the pandal and asks him to come with him, they go in. Manchali is now sitting near the pavitra agni with her head bent down hence she doesn’t see the two guys coming in. Sky says he cannot get married, aghast expressions on everybody present there, only Ghanti is happy but trying to hide his expression. Manchali is surprised and looks up with tears in her eyes.

Sky says he cannot possibly get married knowing that Ghanti and Manchali love each other and thinks they should get married to each other. Ghanti and Manchali are ecstatic they hug Sky one after the other, Beejli is there too with tears of happiness in her eyes and she feels this new found respect and love for Sky in her heart. The pandit is getting impatient and says whoever is willing to get married please come fast I got other things to do too. Ghanti says but I haven’t shaved today you see I was sad, pandit says its ok, unshaved look is in these days. While the ceremony is on, Sky’s and Beejli’s eyes …….. meet, in the background kuch kuch hota hai……..

Ghanti and Manchali are married, Sky doesn’t have to continue his research he has real life experience now. Romance booming between Sky and Beejli.
