There are the oft seen, oh-so predictable characters and stories. One can easily and exactly see the plot unfold and anticipate the character’s responses in your mind. And then there is Man Jali, whose characters and seemingly familiar story is full of high intrigue.
Jalal Mirza, the understanding and accommodating father, makes numerous attempts to get his wayward, rake of a son (Taimoor) to tread his marital path with fidelity and integrity. However, instead of the filial acknowledgement Jalal hopefully expects, he is stingingly asked by Taimoor to consult a Psychiatrist.
Taimoor is no ordinary Casanova and his amorous adventures stretch deep into the ocean. His latest fling is with Sweety, the office assistant initially hired by Jalal to keep a tab on Taimoor. He yet again, manages to work his charm on gullible Sweety and gets her to play to his wishes.

Ramrod straight Ramis, on the other hand is the epitome of fidelity. Despite losing Tooba to Taimoor, he persists in warding off all other distractions, even when it comes in the shape of kind, understanding Dr. Sidra. Sidra is completely bowled over by his sincerity and single-point commitment to Tooba.
Madame Zareena makes an offer to Ramis to consider Gudiya, Tooba’s younger sister as a potential life-partner and wife. However, Ramis is enraged by the mere suggestion. Gudiya for her part, like Sidra maybe harboring feelings for Ramis, for she is shown to faint upon hearing of this proposition and Ramis’s reaction to it.

Will this be the swift departure of Taimoor from the story ? Leaving the field open for steadfast Ramis to woo back his lady love, Tooba ?
