| Synopsis: | Bunty and Tanya. Two people very much in
love. Quite naturally, they should get married and live happily ever
after, right?
But there’s a problem. Bunty will do anything for love – except get
married.It’s not hard to understand his phobia of marriage if one were
to look at his parents, Kishen and Mala – two bickering senior citizens
who are so incompatible that they are like a match made in hell even on
their 35th wedding anniversary!While the couple runs a restaurant where
they serve their volatile arguments as complimentary with the food,
Bunty has never really understood why his parents got married and what
stops them from getting divorced.Our story begins when Bunty finds
himself in a tricky situation as Tanya proposes to him. While Bunty
struggles to explain his predicament to Tanya, she is left with no other
option than drag him to her grandfather, Professor Anthony Gonsalves,
who threatens Bunty with an ultimatum – either get married or stop
seeing Tanya! Unfortunately for Bunty, the ultimatum comes with a
deadline of a few hours on the eve of his parents’ wedding
anniversary.But as Bunty watches helplessly, his surprise party for his
parents deteriorates into yet another explosive verbal duel between
Kishen and Mala before a crowd comprising of friends and foes from the
past – including former twin-voiced singing wonder Kundan and 70s sex
kitten Mona.
"Desperate to save his parent’s marriage and his own love
life, Bunty embarks on the most challenging journey of his life - to
turns back the clock – to rewrite Kishen and Mala’s destiny and alter
their disastrous arranged marriage into a romantic affair of the hearts.
How do you do that? Well, you travel back in time! By stealing your
prospective grandfather-in-law’s time machine right before his eyes!
To the good old 70s - the time of bell bottoms and hippie hairstyles!In
an era where he wasn’t born and caught in a family feud between Kishen’s
father, Rai Bahadur, and Mala’s mother, Bholi Devi, Bunty’s future
depends on not just playing Cupid and transforming his father from a
wimp into an eligible bachelor and his mother from a tomboy into the
epitome of feminine grace, but also coping with the inadvertent
transformation of Kundan and Mona in the process – which further
complicates his already complex mission! Besides, Bunty also has to try
and coax the 70s version of Professor Gonsalves to repair the time
machine so that he can return to see his efforts in the past bear fruits
in the future!In the past that he lands, Bunty realizes that his
parents are barely on talking terms. While Mala hangs out with Kundan
and behaves like one of the boys, Kishen is at the receiving end of her
bullying and ragging routines. To make matters worse, Kishen is also
dominated by Rai Bahadur.’
Bunty decides to first transform his mother into a woman with whom
his father would fall in love at first sight. While that works, Bunty’s
efforts to hardsell his father as an eligible boy for his mother
backfires when Mala challenges Kishen to publicly propose to her. For,
Kishen goes down on his knees… and faints!With his father becoming the
laughing stock of the entire locality, Bunty is determined on a dramatic
makeover for Kishen. It’s hard work as the son slowly but steadily
changes his father’s looks and personality and transforms him into a
cool dude. The change in Kishen doesn’t go unnoticed by Mala – much to
the annoyance of rival Kundan.Bunty slowly realizes that creating his
parents’ love story from scratch doesn’t end with transforming both of
them and getting them attracted to each other. He also has to deal with
his grandparents, Rai Bahadur and Bholi Devi, who are each other’s worst
enemies.But just when Kishen and Mala fall in love, Bunty finds his own
birth in jeopardy when a jealous Kundan challenges Kishen to a
competition where the stake is Mala – and Kishen’s defeat is guaranteed!
To make matters worse, the ever-fighting Rai Bahadur and Bholi Devi
finally agree on one thing – they both are against the concept of a love
marriage between their respective son and daughter!Finally, all’s well
that ends well, as Bunty races against time to overcome the hurdles of
the past for a present where he is much wiser about love and marriage –
and blessed with parents who are now inseparable even in their old age
on their 35th wedding anniversary!Action Replay is a comedy
rollercoaster that takes you back on a time machine to the good old 70s
where a son plays Cupid to his own parents – and redefines generation
gap
