Golmaal Again

Gopal, Madhav, Laxman, Laxman 2, and Lucky live in an orphanage in Ooty managed by businessman Joy Jamnadas. Gopal is afraid of ghosts, Lucky is mute and Laxman has a lisp. Gopal and Laxman are a duo, and the rest are a trio. Both have a mutual dislike for each other. They are also aware of the local librarian Anna's ability to see spirits. The boys find a baby outside the orphanage one night and take her in, naming her Khushi. One day, when Madhav pranks and scares Gopal in an empty bungalow belonging to Jamnadas' friend, Colonel Chauhan, the boys fight. Gopal gets punished, which prompts Gopal and Laxman to leave the orphanage, and soon, Madhav, Lucky and Laxman also do the same. Khushi is later adopted.

25 years later, the five work as plot seizers; Gopal and Laxman work for Babli Bhai, and Madhav, Lucky and Laxman 2 work for Vasooli Bhai. The group reunites after learning about Jamnadas' death. Returning to the orphanage after for Jamnadas' memorial, they meet Colonel Chauhan, now blind, and reunite with Anna and Pappi, a former orphan with memory loss. They meet Damini, the bungalow's caretaker and learn about Chauhan's daughter's demise. During the memorial, businessman Vasu Reddy reveals the orphanage will be demolished and replaced with his own building. Anna and Chauhan decide to rent out two rooms, upsetting Vasu. After the group leaves the orphanage and returns home, a ghost possesses Laxman and speaks in Nana Patekar's voice, rambling that Jamnadas's death was a murder, scaring Gopal. After, Gopal and Laxman call Anna, who lies that the ghost is still in their house and suggests they move to Chauhan's house. Later, the ghost possesses Madhav and prompts Vasooli to assign him, Laxman 2, and Lucky to evict Gopal and Laxman from Chauhan's bungalow for Vasu, indirectly bringing the three back to Ooty.

Upon reaching Ooty, the two groups fight. Madhav, Lucky, and Laxman 2 try to scare Gopal into leaving the house, but Gopal gets possessed by the same ghost and beats up Lucky and Laxman 2. Later, Vasu assigns Madhav, Lucky and Laxman 2 to burn down the house, but Lucky also gets possessed and starts talking in Nana Patekar's voice, scaring the group. The two groups decide to leave, but Anna and Damini convince them to stay for the birthday celebration, and the group reconciles. While Damini and Gopal talk outside, Pappi arrives and shows the photographs he took from the celebration. but Damini cannot be seen in the photographs and Pappi says that he cannot see anyone sitting beside Gopal. They realize that Damini is the ghost. The boys try to run along with Pappi, Babli Bhai and Vasooli Bhai. Anna stops them and explains that the ghost is Khushi.

A flashback narrated by Khushi explains that she was adopted by Chauhan and his wife. Her boyfriend, Nikhil Surana, Jamnadas' nephew, who is working with Vasu, had plans to obtain and demolish the orphanage to build an amusement park. When Jamnadas found out, he disagreed and threatened to change his will and give his money to Pappi instead. The two fought, causing Nikhil to kill him in rage. Upon confronting him and threatening to tell the police, Khushi was strangled to death by Nikhil. With the help of Vasu, he managed to stage their deaths as accidents. However, Khushi's spirit came to Anna for help, who was surprised that the boys could see Khushi and eventually brought them to the house to help get justice and save the orphanage.

Back to the present, Gopal fights Vasu's thugs while the rest of the boys, who wanted to stay away from the matter, are convinced to stay. They convince Gopal to stop chasing the thugs and almost manage to scare Vasu into a confession, but Nikhil arrives before they can and reveals that there is no evidence to prove him guilty. This leads to a fight, during which Khushi attacks and nearly kills Nikhil but is calmed down by Anna, and Vasu convinces Nikhil to confess. With the orphanage saved, Khushi's spirit bids goodbye to the boys and Anna and departs to heaven.
