Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola tells the story of Harry Mandola (Pankaj Kapur – Maqbool, Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron), a wealthy industrialist who loves his drink, his daughter ‘Bijlee’ (Anushka Sharma – Jab Tak Hai Jaan; Rab Ne Banadi Jodi) and the unusual bond they both share with Harry’s Man Friday, ‘Matru’ (Imran Khan – Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu, Mere Brother Ki Dulhan). Much to her father’s delight, Bijlee is all set to marry Baadal (Arya Babbar – Tees Maar Khan, Khiladi 786), the son of a powerful politician Chaudhari Devi (Shabana Azmi – Godmother, Midnight’s Children). This alliance which is far from just being a simple union of two young people becomes the seed for a story that brings twists and turns in the lives of Matru, Bijlee and Mandola.
Matru Ki Bijlee ka Mandola releases on 11th January 2013 through Twentieth Century Fox in UK cinemas.
