The film takes one back to the happy, sunny days of childhood where tickles and mischief with one's siblings were the remedy to all of the world's sorrows.
While upholding his family values and battling his way to fulfill his promise, Lala also faces hiccups on the personal front- His romantic life with his childhood love Sapna.
