Plot Summary

Taking on from where we left the previous time Dedh Ishqiya discovers yet another journey of Khalujan (Naseeruddin Shah) and Babban (Arshad Warsi), a poetic journey underlined with revenge, drama and deception. The Begum (Madhuri Dixit) of Majidabad is hosting a festival of poetry and music in her mansion. The country’s best poets are in town. Khalujan, the Nawab of Chandpur, is participating as a poet in the festival. He is not there merely to show off his poetic wares but to impress the widowed Begum who, as the grapevine suggests, is scouting for a husband - preferably a Babban arrives in Majidabad to exact revenge on Khalujan but his plans change the moment he sets his eyes on Begum’s maid and confidant, Munira alias Muniya (Huma Qureshi), a brash and sexy young woman. Muniya too has plans of her own. She leaves the palace every now and then in a disguise to meet gangsters in dark alleys. A dangerous kidnap plan is afoot. The palace is rife with intrigue. The shayari is dropped for the guns, daring chases and true intentions and in the end, love triumphs even if the players of the story do not.
