from the beginning i knew this was going to be a complete copy of hollywood's Ms Doubtfire. Kamal and Tabu get a divorce, Tabu takes custody of the daughter but Kamal wants to be with her aswell. So he diguises as an auntie in amrish's home. There he can be with his daughter and be with Tabu. Through lots of confusion and old men liking the auntie, wanting to marry her, Tabu begins to miss her husband, kamal kills off the auntie to be with her.
