Storyline
Squabbling Sharma family has a dubious reputation of not having any cook last there for more than a few months. Word spreads out about this family to such an extent that no person wants to be employed as a cook in this household, ironically named Shanti Nivas. Then one day a young man named Raghu offers to work as a cook, and he is hired. Raghu quickly gets a grip on his job and on each of the family members, and soon the squabbles and arguments come to an end. And then the Sharmas find the family jewels and Raghu missing.

Follows the chaotic life of a family, and how, the Bawarchi( Rajesh Khanna ), manages to bring everything into perspective for the family. Hrishikesh Mukherjee again shows that how even a small budget can be used to produce a great movie. Most of the movie is shot inside the a house. Lot of good observations on the Indian family made during the movie. Did I mention that it is very funny also? In short, a must see movie.
