The old man has since become senile and most importantly, forgotten the secret recipe of "Chicken Khurana" a dish that made the Khurana dhaba (restaurant) famous across Punjab. Omi’s childhood sweetheart, Harman is soon to be married to his cousin, Jeet, though neither seems too happy about it. Adding to the quirkiness of the Khurana family is a free loader uncle, Titu, who once did a stint at a mental asylum. Omi's grandfaher has a cousin sister who ran away from home at early age and is now a saint. His grand father dies on his last visit to his restaurant. Omi tries to restore their family restaurant with the help of Harman. While working on restaurant both of them reconcile and start to have feelings for each other. Meanwhile Omi discovers the secret ingredient from his grandfathers famous chicken recipe was a narcotic herbal medicine but keeps it a secret forever. While the family comes together, Jeet surprises everybody by revealing his love for a bengali war-widow Shama and has a daughter with her. Omi and Harman's marriage is fixed. In the end the whole family seems happy and celebrating when the gangster from whom Omi is hiding comes looking for him and is revealed to be Titu's long lost friend.
