Synopsis

SHARMAJI NAMKEEN is the story of a retired man. Brij Gopal Sharma (Rishi Kapoor and Paresh Rawal) works as an assistant manager at Madhuban Home Appliances in Delhi. His wife Suman passed away a few years ago and he resides in a middle-class neighbourhood with his elder son Sandeep Sharma aka Rinku (Suhail Nayyar) and younger son Vincy (Taaruk Raina). He’s forced to opt for voluntary retirement though he’s 58 years old. At first, he’s happy with his retired life. A few months later, he gets restless. He’s fond of cooking and one day, he tells his sons that he’d like to start a chaat stall. Rinku gets angry over this idea and hence, Sharmaji drops the plan. Meanwhile, his close friend, Chaddha (Satish Kaushik), asks Sharmaji one day to cook for guests at a friend’s place for a religious gathering. Sharmaji at first refuses but later, gives in. He goes to the place of Manju Gulati (Sheeba Chadha) and cooks delicious dishes. However, he realizes that Manju and her guests are not having any religious ceremony; instead, a kitty party is going on in full swing. An enraged Sharmaji runs away. He gets mad at Chaddha. His anger soon evaporates as Manju calls him and praises his food. He’s also invited to cook during their next kitty session. Sharmaji, hence, starts attending their kitty parties as an expert cook, without informing his sons. He also gets close to Veena Manchanda (Juhi Chawla), who has also lost her spouse, just like Sharmaji. What happens next forms the rest of the film.
