Yamraj, the deity of death, falls in love with Jigna, a commoner, and marries her. In the bargain, he also gets an irksome brother-in-law, Himesh, who troubles him to no end.
Yamraj makes repeated attempts to take the praan of a certain deadly Don only to be interrupted constantly by Jigna to run some household errand or the other. Meanwhile the Don keeps doubling his protection thinking his rival gang in the city has hired an assassin to kill the Don. Simultaneously in drama class at school, Himesh and Satya are battling it out to play the titular role of Vishwamitra, so as to get closer to the girl of both their dreams -Mohini, who’s playing the role of Menaka, female lead in the play.
While going about his daily routine of taking praans, Yamraj comes across an extremely rich man, who is thoroughly confused about which of sons’ should be the heir to his enormous fortune. The old man entrusts the responsibility of finding the most deserving heir to Yamraj, in exchange for half his wealth. Poor Yamraj, having always dreamt of amassing great wealth, grabs the opportunity immediately. Meanwhile, Jigna, on hearing news of the immense wealth that’ll soon be theirs, immediately starts planning the biggest party of the neighborhood, inviting everyone from the milkman to landlord.
When Yamraj, tries to take the praan of an ailing man in the hospital, the man surprises him by being remarkably agile and pushes him out the window. This in turn leads to Yamraj being forcibly hospitalized and placed in the bed right next to the old man whose praan he is meant to take. While Yamraj struggles to get out of his forced hiatus, a friendly yet slightly competitive game of chausar between Himesh and Satya, turns into an ugly ego battle between Jigna and Mandira.
Deeply affected by the harsh words spoken by a politician who proclaimed to his audience that Yamraj – The Lord of Death - is a symbol of evil; Yamraj decides to ask his boss – Akaashwani for a job that commands more respect from the mortals. When Akaashwani dismisses his pleas, Yamraj takes the extremely bold step of quitting his job to work for his reluctant father-in-law. While he is trying to make himself useful in his father-in-law’s jewellery shop, Himesh tries to enjoy some quality time with Mohini at his home, only to have it disrupted, time and time, by Satya.
Tired of living a life with no luxury, owing to the modest means earned by Yamraj, Jigna lies to her mother about being pregnant in order to claim the crores her father has kept aside for his first grandchild. What Jigna did not foresee however, is her mother showing up to tend to her in her ‘pregnancy’, right when she’s prepping for a dance competition in which she fully intends to beat three-time champion Mandira.
When Yamraj casually takes the praan of an astrologer, the astrologer’s last words to him are that he will suffer bodily, mental and monetary harm. While Yamraj doesn’t believe him at first, the events of his rather unfortunate life force him to acquiesce that the astrologer might just be right. In the hope that further damage van be avoided, Yam and Doot set out to bring back the astrologer from the underworld
When Jigna sees Mandira and Guptaji return from a thoroughly enjoyable holiday, she immediately demands that Yam take her on a Holiday. Yam of course denies the possibility of taking a vacation. As luck would have it, a letter is delivered to Jigna conveying that the couple has won a holiday package in lucky draw. Thrilled, she immediately starts planning for the trip. Yam however is not so sure. The trip is on-again-off-again like swaying blade of grass, and with every sway, this way or that, Himesh alters his plans to either have a candle light dinner for two with Mohini or go for a class picnic. What finally comes to be of this madness, is an outcome none could have imagined
