Synopsis

Abhijeet Samarth (Ashok Saraf), the lazy owner of a gymnasium, lives a wealthy lifestyle in Pune with his advocate wife, Asavari (Vandana Gupte), and their collegiate daughter, Rasika (Varsha Usgaonkar), who is going steady with a wealthy corporator's son, Vikrant Malgude (Ajinkya Dev), also known as Vicky. Abhijeet's advocate friend, Anant Mahashabde (Vikram Gokhale) also lives a wealthy lifestyle in Pune with his homemaker wife, Ulka (Savita Prabhune), their collegiate son, Aseem (Sunil Barve), and schoolgoing daughter, Chinu (Sai Deodhar). Abhijeet and Anant both get together at Abhijeet's home every Saturday to enjoy drinks and share some poetry. Their harmonious lifestyle changes hilariously when both Ulka and Abhijeet come across two love letters apparently addressed to Anant and Asavari, respectively, and begin to suspect that their spouses are having an extramarital affair.
