Dharampal (Paresh Rawal) is an atheist living in a Hindu household in the city of Ahmedabad. He a caterer by profession, lives in a Gujarati Hindu household in Ahmedabad with his wife Indira (Alka Kaushal) and two grown children (son Amit and daughter Antara (Rushita Pandya)). Amit makes him to fix their engagement with a girl named Shraddha of his choice from a strict Hindu cult. Dharampal says that he is willing to accept a religious daughter-in-law but wants the bride's family to accept him as he is (an atheist).

Dharampal's elder son Amit (Manoj Raghubir Sharma) falls in love with a young girl named Shraddha (Auritra Ghosh) and in order to marry her, he must have her father accept him and his family.

Shraddha's father is a devout follower of a spiritual Baba named Neelanand (Naseeruddin Shah). To help him impress Shraddha's father, he asks Dharampal to also follow Neelanand and become spiritual. Neelanand runs an ashram but uses that as a front to sell Ayurvedic consumer goods to his devotees. Neelanand also sells real estate and is setting up Ashrams in the US. Neelanand is also a bit of lech who preys on young women who come asking for help.

Dharampal is very stereotypical towards Muslims. He starts his days with the old songs of a Punjabi Sikh pop singer Manjeet Manchala (Gippy Grewal), who has now stopped producing albums and disappeared mysteriously. He plays Manjeet's music at loud volume to drown out the sound of morning prayers coming from the neighboring Mosque.

As well as this, he has regular arguments with a Muslim man named Nawab Mehmood Nazim Ali Shah Khan Bahadur (Annu Kapoor) who happens to live in the same area as him. Nawab owns a vintage car which he parks on the narrow street. As such, Dharampal scrapes the vintage when he is taking his own car out. Nawab is an advocate and keeps sending him legal notices for the damages to his property.

Amit shares a very old clip of Manchala with Dharampal. Amit also tells Dharampal that he has become a life long member of the Neelanand Ashram.

Dharampal visits the bank to open his mother's locker after her death. There he finds adoption papers certifying he was adopted in 1960. Dharampal decides to get the details of his biological parents and visits the orphanage from where he was adopted. He tricks the manager of the orphanage to show him the adoptions file from 1960 and discovers himself to be biologically Muslim and born in a Muslim family.

This shocks him, considering how much he dislikes Muslims, and he decides to keep this a secret. But suddenly, Dharampal's perspective changes towards Muslims. He realizes that the society had demonized the entire race due to the work of few extremists. Every time a bomb explodes or there is a terrorist attack, everyone first blames Muslims, even before a proper investigation is conducted.

Eventually, he admits to Nawab that he is also a Muslim, and that he must find his real father Meer Shaukat Ali in order to speak to him. Nawab can see that Dharampal is very worried and decides to help him. Nawab finds that Meer was a good man, but his wife died shortly after childbirth. Due to a financial crisis at home, he was not in a position to take care of his infant son. He was then hired as a driver in Kuwait. He had to leave, and this is why he gave the infant to his relative before leaving. The child soon became a burden for the relative's family and that's when the relative gave the infant to an orphanage. Meer returned from Kuwait after 4 years and found out the truth. He was devastated, but it was already too late, and the baby had been adopted. Meer never even remarried due to this shock and donated all his wealth to charity and shifted into a sanatorium.

They discover that his father is in critical condition due to old age, living in a senior home. The Imaam taking care of his father tells Dharampal that if his father saw that his only son has been brought up as a non-Muslim, it could cause severe damage to his health. Therefore, he tells Dharampal to learn how to become a true Muslim and come back to meet his father once he is ready.

With the help of Shah, he begins to learn the ways of Muslim people. However, the Imaam declines Dharampal's request to meet his father once again, claiming he is still not coming across as a true Muslim.

However, on one occasion, Dharampal ends up admitting publicly that he was a born Muslim. Dharampal's family and Shraddha's father witness this, and Neelanand advises Shraddha's father not to have his daughter marry Dharampal's son.

Due to this, Dharampal's family leave him. A case is lodged against Dharampal for offending Muslims, and in the court, the Imaam comes and gives character witness of how Dharampal detests Islam. His testimony backfires when Nawaab, now Dharampal's attorney, accuses the Imaam of trying to wrongfully convert Dharampal to Islam.

The court gives permission to Dharampal to see his ailing father. However, before they arrive at the senior home, his father has already died. Furious over the whole situation, Dharampal tries to bring down Neelanand, the main cause of most of his troubles. He then accidentally discovers that Neelanand Baba's eye twitches due to Blepharospasm, a very rare abnormality causing contraction of the eyelid, which the Punjabi pop singer Manjeet Manchala also suffered from.

This reminds Dharampal that Manchala had disappeared years ago, and then matches the voices of Manchala and Neelanand, confirming they are the same person. He then crashes an event of Neelanand and reveals to a large audience how Neelanand Baba is actually a born Sikh and has been a fraud and characterless pop-singer with various cases lodged against him for adulterous relationships with many women. He gives a speech on how the religion a person follows should not matter as long as they are acting rightfully. Dharampal's family finally returns, and his son is allowed to marry Sharaddha.
