Plot
The story is set during the sacred 16 days of Shraadh (Kaagvas), Purshottam descends to earth from the afterlife to break his grandson Brijesh's marriage with his childhood love with all sorts of magic powers up his sleeve. All hells are going to break loose in this absurd comedy of errors, where a spirit pits itself against his grandchild—old, outdated principles vs. the current.
