Mere Dad Ki Maruti

Mere Dad Ki Maruti (English: My dad's Maruti) is a Bollywood comedy film directed by Ashima Chibber, featuring Saqib Saleem, Ram Kapoor and Prabal Panjabi in lead roles. It also features newcomer Rhea Chakraborty in a pivotal role.

Twenty-something Sameer is a brat who thinks he can get away with anything. When he lands a lucky date with 'Chandigarh Ki Shakira', Jasleen, he decides to sneak out his dad's brand new Maruti without a second thought. After a mad night at a pub, a fun drive around the famous gehri route and one peck on the cheek, Sameer ends up losing the car!

The car was meant to be a gift for his sister on her wedding and is probably the only thing his stingy dad, Tej Khullar ever spent money on. With only three days to find it, he must ensure his dad doesn't get a whiff of what he has done. Else, he will be turned into butter chicken.

Sameer's life will be turned upside down as he comes face-to-face with some insane characters like a bhai from chor bazaar, an old man with a rifle pointed at his nose and of course, the Chandigarh cops.

Will he manage to woo the girl of his dreams? Will he find the car? Will his dad find out?

The film has Saqib Saleem as Sameer, Ram Kapoor as Sameer's father, Prabal Panjabi as Gattu, Ravi Kishan as Bhai and Rhea Chakraborty as Jasleen/Jazzleen.

The music of the film is composed by Sachin Gupta and lyrics penned are by Kumaar.
