Twenty years after fulfilling their sacred vow, Vakratund (Sachin Pilgaonkar), also known as Vacky, and Bhakti (Supriya Pilgaonkar) are living a peaceful life with their daughter, Shraddha (Hemal Ingle). Every year, the family follows a cherished family tradition of immersing a Ganesh idol on the shores of Ganpatipule. Shraddha, now deeply in love with Lambodar (Swapnil Joshi), also known as Lamby, has their relationship blessed by her parents. Vacky and Bhakti, wishing to include Lamby in their family customs, request him to continue the yearly Ganesh idol immersion after marriage. However, Lamby, an atheist, refuses to do so, leaving Vacky and Bhakti heartbroken. This decision causes tension, with Shraddha contemplating ending their relationship, but unexpected events compel Lamby to reconsider his stance. As tensions ease, Shraddha reveals that she, just like her mother, had made another vow. This vow requires Lamby to make a pilgrimage to the temple of Ganpatipule, but under the shocking condition that he must go unclothed. As this revelation unfolds, the situation spirals into chaos during their Konkan Railwaytrain journey from Mumbai to Ganpatipule. Unbeknownst to them, Sabu Kaalia (Vaibhav Mangle), the notorious younger brother of smuggler Babu Kaalia, and his gang are tracking their every move, due to the fact that they have stolen valuable diamonds worth ₹800 crores from the Government of India and hidden them inside inside the family's Ganesh idol. What follows is a series of unexpected twists that turn their spiritual journey into a thrilling adventure.
