Dilwali Diwali Plot and Family Story Details

Dilwali Diwali Movie Details

Dilwali Diwali tells the story of a family caught in an amusing situation. Sudhir Sikka, also known as Goggi (Manoj Pahwa), lives with his wife Sukhmani or Sukhi (Neelu Kohli), and their daughter Mahi (Aurra Bhatnagar Badoni), in a modest home within a refugee camp. The refugee camp house was originally allotted to Sudhir's father upon his arrival in Mumbai after Partition.

The family also owns a lavish apartment on the 27th floor of a skyscraper, purchased by their son Ansh (Mihir Ahuja). Ansh lives in Norway and was unhappy with his family's modest living conditions. Although Goggi, Sukhi, and Mahi move into the new apartment, they feel miserable despite the spacious interiors and modern amenities. Unfriendly neighbours cause the trio to miss the warmth and close-knit bonds of their refugee camp community, leading them to move back to their old home within a week.

Unwilling to tell Ansh the truth, the family continues to pretend they live in the skyscraper. Complications ensue when Ansh announces he is coming to Mumbai for Diwali, forcing Goggi, Sukhi, and Mahi to return to the skyscraper apartment. Upon Ansh's arrival, the family goes to great lengths to convince him they have formed close friendships with their new neighbours.
