Plot
The movie deals with a wealthy Gujarati-speaking, Sanjay Patel, a self-styled Indian casanova who believes in dating and flirting with a wide assortment of women and breaking their hearts. He works as an executive in an Advertisement Firm and is very friendly with a male co-worker, Shekhar, who is exactly Sanjay's opposite when it comes to females. Sanjay's flirtatious actions land him in trouble with three women, Loveleen, Seema and Rita, where he is accidentally killed by Loveleen. After his death, he appears before Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati and requests them to let him return back to earth. They give him a last chance to mend his ways and behaviour with women before the next Shivaratri. Sanjay returns back to earth but the next day, treats this as a bad dream and sets about his usual way. This does not auger well with Parvati and she recommends to Lord Shiva that Sanjay's gender be changed to female in order to enable him to understand and appreciate the fairer sex. The transformation occurs and Sanjay, much to his horror, is transformed to a female. He changes his name to Sanjana, introduces himself as Sanjay's step-sister and makes others believe that Sanjay will return after Shivaratri. Sanjana goes to Loveleen, convinces her of her real identity as Sanjay, and persuades her to give her lessons in being a woman. While working in the company, Sanjana faces much cat-calling and harassment, thus making her feel the pain of a woman. She has several problems as the things she used to do with other girls like flirting, are being done to her.
Oneday after a bar fight, a drunk Sanjana and Shekhar spend a night together. In the morning, Sanjana has no memory of the encounter and accuses Shekhar of raping her while she was passed out. Soon, Sanjana finds herself pregnant with his child. Sanjay's dead body is found and identified by both Sanjana and Shekhar. Sanjana is arrested by the police in Sanjay's murder case. She finally reveals infront of Shekhar about her being Sanjay. Slowly whilst leading a girl's life, Sanjana understands the error of her ways as a man. With Shekhar's help, Sanjana is proven innocent and Loveleen is arrested for murdering Sanjay. At home, Sanjay wakes up from his sleep and these events turn out to be his bad dream. He then mends his ways and starts respecting women.
