Ayub Khan-Din's Rafta Rafta is a comedy in English which centers around a newly-wed couple and their meddlesome families.
Atul Dutt and his new bride, Lisa Lim, are short of cash and have to live with the Dutts, a stereotypical Indian family headed by a whisky loving, bhangra dancing, pompous ass of a father (Eeshwar) and a sarcastic matriarch of a mother (Lopa). Not that this combination is rich enough to drive them insane, the beleaguered couple have to deal with the incessant intrusions of Lisa's parents, Peter Lim, who can't stand the idea of being separated from his daughter, and Laura Lim, who can't keep her nose out of her daughter's affairs, particularly as it pertains to the affairs of the bedroom.
Will this marriage survive the onslaught of the personal dysfunctionalities being hurled at it and have a happy ending?
