Hema rejects his marriage proposal, criticizing his unpolished language, illicit business, and lack of "gentlemanly" qualities. Determined to win her back, Dada decides to transform himself entirely. He quits his illegal trades, hires a Marathi teacher to polish his speech, and recruits a fashion designer to upgrade his wardrobe. However, his sudden change of heart leads to a massive "laughter riot" as his rivals and the police mistake his new behavior for a cover for an even bigger crime.
