Hungama is a 2003 Bollywood comedy 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 own 1984 film Poochakkoru Mookkuthi; which itself was based on Charles Dickens' play, The Strange Gentleman.
Anjali (Rimi Sen) has run away from a small village to get a job in Mumbai, where she hopes to make enough money to pay off the debts her family owes their landlord or else she will have to marry the landlord's son, Raja (Rajpal Yadav). 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.
Meanwhile, an electronics salesman named Jeetu (Akshaye Khanna) is struggling to find a loan to start his own business. His wealthy dad refuses to loan him. He discusses his situation with his friend Anil (Sanjay Narvekar) who tells him that the best way to access funds is to marry into them, i.e. marry someone's rich daughter. He also confides in Jeetu and tells him that by seducing the daughter of a rich person named Kachara Seth (Shakti Kapoor) and marrying her, he too would become rich. He plans to make himself appear rich and expects that, once married, the father-in-law will be able to do nothing upon discovering the truth. Jeetu takes the matter up and ends up stealing a chunk of cash from his parent's safe. He then proceeds to fulfill his dream of opening his electronics business.
