Perspective

Aditya Verma, fondly called Adi Chachu or Adi Uncle (Shahid Kapoor) by the children of his brothers (Adi has two brothers; one died in a plane crash along with his wife), lives in a large mansion in Mumbai with his other brother (Mohnish Bahl) who has a drinking problem, sister-in-law, sister, and grandmother. He is the only working member in the family. He falls in love with a tuition teacher, Piya (Amrita Rao). They confess their feelings for each other and plan to get married. However, while going to work to attend an important meeting, Adi is run over by a truck while trying to save Parth (Parth Dave) and dies.

In the afterlife, he meets the Hindu god of death, Yama (Sanjay Dutt), a kind-hearted, emotional deity with designer clothes and a red car. Yamraj allows Adi to go back to Earth as a ghost to stop his evil uncle (Prem Chopra), who wants to sell Adi's mansion to industrialist Hirachand (Sharat Saxena). Adi enlists the aid of Shakti, a little boy who was being taken with Adi to heaven, to save his family home. At first, they reach Earth, but no one can listen, see, or feel them. Then they meet Fakira Bhai B.P.C.M. (Arshad Warsi), who gives them the power to touch humans as before they were not able to, and then for his family, Yamraj comes and gives him the ability to see his family for a couple of minutes before he takes the both of them back—Shakti and Adi. When Adi's family sees Adi, they ask Yamraj to take them as well, as they do not want to live without Adi. Yamraj gets emotional and leaves him to stay with his family and the little boy Shakti also. When the family members wake up, they think that this was a bad dream, but only Adi and Shakti know that they died and came back to life. A film actor and Yamraj's lookalike, Sanjay Dutt, offers to buy Adi's property, but Adi refuses to sell his property and lives happily with Piya and his family.
