One day Abhi comes and tells Amu that he loves someone that is his childhood friend, Amu thinks that she is the girl that Abhi loves and she too falls in love with him. Abhi later reveals that a girl named Kartika (Rimi Sen) is whom he loves. But Karthika is actually after his money. Amu is heartbroken.

Paglu tells Abhi that Amu is the right girl for her, and Abhi falls in love with her. Paglu, with Karthika still kidnapped, finds out that her name is Anjali, not Karthika. She is not in love with Abhi but with his money because she has a history of cheating people. Paglu frees her and she goes and tells Abhi about the kidnapping.

The next day, Abhi comes back, apologizes to them and tells him that he isn't married. He tells them that yesterday when they left Anjali told him that she has learned a lot from the time Paglu and Amu kept her in captivity and apologizes that she can't marry him and that Amu is the right girl for him.

Reception
The film did not really take off at the box office. And to add to its woes the reviews were not too good either. However actor Riteish Deshmukh seems to have pleased everyone with his performance as he got some great reviews. Noyon Jyoti Parasara of AOL India said, "Truly this movie is Ritesh's. Ritesh has already established himself as a good comic actor and De Taali seconds that."[2]
