The dons are taken by their couple, yet Rajiv’s uncle, Dr. Ghungroo (Paresh Rawal), oblivious to their criminal past, approves the match. However, it doesn’t take long before the truth about their shady background comes to light.

In the blossoming of affection and family disagreements, an unpredictable chain of events transpires, culminating in a humorous, surprising turn.

Following a clever ruse where he staged his own demise to outsmart the opposition, Suryadev skillfully dodged numerous assassination plots and unveiled the underlying plot. The events that unfold subsequently promise to captivate everyone.

The story of Ghulam-e-Mustafa centers around a contract killer deeply devoted to his faith, who was both raised and trained by the powerful don Shanta Prasad, whom he affectionately calls Abba.

Shortly afterward, Cupid fires an arrow, causing him to become enamored with a dancer who is associated with his adversaries. Unfortunately, she perishes, leaving him devastated. In response, he forsakes the criminal underworld and opts to live a humble existence. This decision, however, leads to his ‘abba’ (father or mentor) turning against him.
