Lilly is a petty thief, a greedy woman and Suraj falls in love with her at first sight, but she rejects him. Chhota Ravan, a rowdy opponent to Lilly, often teases Suraj and he falls sick.

Meanwhile, in hell, Yamraj (God of death) and Chitragupt misplace a book called Bhavishyavaani, which shows the future of man. The book somehow falls on the roof of Suraj's house, he benefits by reading predictions of the future in the book and becomes rich and Chhota Ravan is surprised how Suraj became rich in a short time. Lord Brahma warns Yamraj and Chitragupt that within one month they should find the book, otherwise they lose their supernatural powers. On earth, Suraj again buys their palace and takes his mother to it and he asks his mother if she wants anything else. She asks him to get married, so Suraj again opens the book to see whether his marriage will happen with Lilly or not. He then reads that his mother will die that night at 10 PM.
