After settling into married life, the couple decides to start a family. Their plans take an unexpected turn when Chaitanya discovers that he has a low sperm count. This revelation leads to a mix of humorous, chaotic, and emotional situations involving eccentric doctors, concerned family members, and quirky friends.
