Plot

Vakratund (Sachin Pilgaonkar ) and Bhakti (Supriya Pilgaonkar) are a couple who have married against Bhakti's parents wishes. Vakratund, also known as Vacky, is an artist but does not have commercial success. Even after 10 years of marriage, the couple is not blessed with children. Bhakti gets to know from Vacky's aunt (Nirmiti Sawant) that Vacky's father had vowed to God that if his child is born healthy, he will bring his child to Ganpatipule naked. This vow was left unfulfilled as Vacky's parents passed away soon. Bhakti tries to persuade Vacky to go to Ganpati Pule naked, but he does not agree to it. Vacky and his friend Kishore (Atul Parchure) then hire a small time actor as a sage, who advises them to take a mannequin dressed as Vacky secretly in a public transport to Ganapti Pule to fulfill the vow. Vacky and his friend Kishore manage to sneak the mannequin into a state transport bus the previous night of the travel to Ganapati Pule. However, they are unaware that after their departure from the bus at night, an international smuggler named Babu Kaalia (Pradeep Patwardhan) who has just escaped from prison and has stolen diamonds worth 80 crore entered the bus and hid the bag filled with diamonds in a hollow of the mannequin.

Hilarity ensues as the remaining story has the highs and the lows that the couple face while travelling in the bus and the different lives of the passengers, including the bus conductor Lalu (Ashok Saraf) and the bus driver Prasad (Sunil Tawde). However, on reaching Ganpati Pule, they and the passengers are confronted by police as they have an evidence that Babu Kaalia is travelling in the bus to flee to Dubai from Ganpati Pule port. The whole time in the bus from Mumbai to Ganpati Pule, Vacky was drawing the portrait of Babu Kaalia with the help of a fellow passenger (Jaywant Wadkar) who knew Babu Kalia. As soon as they complete the sketch, Babu Kaalia springs up to his true identity and threatens Vicky and passengers for his diamonds or to kill them all. However, Bhakti asks Vicky to take the mannequin to the temple. Vacky reveals that the sage Bhakti met was fake and he had planned this to avoid going naked to Ganpati Pule. However, Vacky still takes away the mannequin to the temple while others run behind him tearing his clothes. By the time he reaches the temple he is completely naked. He completes the vow and the couple are rewarded with 8 crore for catching the gangster and they live happily thereafter.
