Plot

In a room, a bed is shaking rhythmically and sounds of a man moaning as it is revealed that it was due to Roopmati (Neena Gupta) is scratching Girdharilal's (Jackie Shroff) back with a churning stick to ease an itch. Their [son] knocks on the door and asks them to be quit. He further informs them that he will be out late. Girdharilal replies humorously that instead of telling so [he] could have texted them. In the kitchen, Roopmati ignites the gas stove as her aged grandmother is walking towards washroom behind her. The twist in the plot comes when Jackie finds a pair of pink handcuffs in his young son's bedroom. Scandalised and angry, he shows his find to his wife. His tirade however, is interrupted when Neena smiles slyly and tells him she knows the handcuffs are used for BDSM, because she had read Fifty Shades of Grey.
