Hungama is a 2003 Hindi comedy film film co-written and directed by Priyadarshan. It stars Paresh Rawal, Aftab Shivdasani, Akshay Khanna, and Rimi Sen. It was an adaptation of Priyadarshan's 1984 Malayalam film Poochakkoru Mookkuthi. The film was a moderate success at the box office.
Hungama revolves around four primary characters, Anjali, Nandu, Mr. Tiwari, and Jeetu, as their lives in the big city become intertwined following a series of mishaps and misunderstandings.
Anjali (Rimi Sen) has run away from a small village to get a job in the big city, where she hopes to make enough money to pay off the debts her family owes their landlord. Otherwise Anjali will have to marry the landlord's son, Raja (Rajpal Yadav), whom she describes as a "First Class Idiot." Once she arrives in the city, the only way she can find cheap lodging is by pretending to be married to a total stranger, Nandu (Aftab Shivdasani), an aspiring musician, an arrangement thought up by local milkman and fixer, Bholu (Amin Gazi). Anjali and Nandu initially don't get along but must make do to retain their low-rent accommodation.
