What happens

Do Dooni Chaar (transl. Two twos are four) is a 2010 Indian Hindi-language family comedy-drama film produced by Arindam Chaudhuri (Planman Motion Pictures), written and directed by debutant director Habib Faisal, starring Rishi Kapoor, Neetu Kapoor, Aditi Vasudev and Archit Krishna in lead roles. The film is about a middle-class school teacher who tries to keep his wife and children happy in inflationary times and dreams of buying a car. The film also marks the return of the Kapoor pair as a lead couple on the silver screen. Although the duo had not acted in a film in over 30 years, they had previously acted in numerous hits during the 1970s. The directorial debut film was also the first live-action Hindi film to be distributed by Walt Disney Pictures. It went on to win the National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Hindi at the 58th National Film Awards. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
