Badhaai Ho Badhaai is an excellent remake of a Telugu hit film, “Subhakankshalu”. The story is based on the feud of 2 families; The Chaddhas (Amrish Puri, Farida Jalal and Govind Namdeo), and the D’Souzas (K Vishwanath, Rohini Hattangady) who used to be friends but turned foes after their daughter and son, respectively, eloped and got married.

The two families now cannot stand each other and wave off sickles at each other across their fences. Suddenly, Raja (Anil Kapoor), who claims to be the son of the pair who had eloped, comes back to meet them. The two families spurn him, unwilling to let go of the past.

Raja and his friend Lucky Iyer (Suresh Menon), a Sikh with a South Indian accent, then move in with Ghuman Singh (Kader Khan), a boisterous singer who is the only one in the neighbourhood willing to take them in. Raja wins over his grandparents, who soon start pressurising him to marry a girl of their choice.

The Chaddha grandmother (Farida Jalal), wants her grandson to marry a Hindu girl to pave the way for his rehabilitation into their family, while Grandma D’Souza (Rohini Hattangady), wants to find him a Christian girl.

To save another feud, Raja says he is already married to Banto Betty, a girl whose name and existence he dreams up on the spur of the moment. A few days later, a Banto Betty (Shilpa Shetty) actually walks into the village claiming to be his wife. So who is this Banto Betty?
