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!
