EFT Report, Mumbai: Love-This evergreen word sometimes means the idiotic behavior of intelligent human beings and intelligence of idiots. Love has that power which transforms desert into green fields. It can grow roses even on a volcano. Perhaps, this is the reason why it is said that love never dies. Those eternal lovers like Romeo & Juliet and Sohani & Mahiwal are still alive. They are still in love. The style and the form of love might have changed, but the intensity of love hasn't. Pritam Pyare Pappuji is one such uncommon love story of a common man.
Pappuji is an estate agent. Obviously, with a sweet tongue. He can easily win over somebody with what he speaks. He wears thick glasses, long Kurta and wide pajama. The motto of his life is ‘Money is everything.’ To earn money he can deceive anybody. Emotions, love, relationship, feelings; these are the words that don`t exist in his dictionary. However, he adores his mother, who has raised him. Mother wants Pappuji to get married and settle down in life, but our hero wants to earn so much money that even Reserve Bank of India doesn`t produce.
Pappuji has one more passion apart from earning money. He is crazy about Hindi films. He would see films first day first show, but obviously in lower stall. For him, a film is a sort of a five course meal that should provide all the tastes of life; feeling, emotions, relationships, dreams, ambition etc. Everything was fine until Pappuji met Dimple. He happens to see an ad in the newspaper about a bungalow to be sold. He visits the bungalow as an estate agent and meets Dimple, who stays alone. Dimple`s father is dead. Her maternal uncle and aunt in Kanpur have raised her. After her father`s death, Dimple wants to sell off this huge bungalow. This is how she meets Pappuji. Our hero is shrewd and cunning, whereas Dimple is simple and innocent. After seeing the papers of the bungalow, Pappuji decided that he can easily make a fool out of this girl because she doesn`t know that she owns a surrounding place of the bungalow which is illegally occupied by a local thug Pakyabhai. Pappuji prepares a power of attorney and asks for Dimple`s signature, as he wants a big cut in the deal. However, he doesn`t do it. He realizes that Dimple believes in simple philosophy: It is good to be cheated, than to cheat. She gives away the keys to the bungalow and goes to Kanpur for some days. Pappuji gets the shock of his life. He tears of those papers prepared by him Infact, Dimple`s simple philosophy transforms this shrewd man into a kind and loving person. He gradually falls in love with this girl, who has found a friend, philosopher and guide in him. Now, Pappuji has an important mission in his life. To save Dimple`s estate from Pakya.
Pakya is just a hooligan, who asks for protection money from the people. However, he is educated. The only reason for him to be a thug was unemployment. Pappuji sends a legal notice to Pakya to vacate Dimple`s place, which he has occupied illegally. When Pakya comes to know about this, he beats Pappuji brutally. Dimple can`t just see her friend and her guide to be beaten. She gives a tight slap to Pakya and lectures him about his so-called education.
This one slap changes the life of Pakya. He apologies Pappuji and Dimple, and genuinely tries to become a good man. Once, when Dimple`s uncle and aunt visit Dimple to scold her, Pakya takes control of the situation and saves Dimple from the clutches of her overpowering aunt. At this point, the story takes a dramatic turn. Dimple falls in love with Pakya. And the triangle begins. Pappuji loves Dimple loves Pakya. Pappuji is sure that Dimple will get married to him. He prepares for the marriage. Incidentally, Pakya and Dimple are getting marries the same day. The confusion prevails till the end. When story reaches its crescendo. All these three characters reach the place of wedding. And what happens in the marriage hall? It can’t be told, it should be seen to be believed.
