Bunty befriends both Kishen and Mala in 1975 and manipulates circumstances to bring them closer. He promises Kishen Rs 5000 if he can persuade Mala to share intimacy with him. He also gives Kishen a makeover, teaching him style and confidence to win Mala's affection. Bunty believes Mala could become an international model if she learns humility and grace.

When Bunty arrives in 1975, he discovers his father was a completely different person - buck-toothed, wimpy, and lacking the practical, conservative nature Bunty knew. This transformation was a result of Bunty's interventions, including the confidence-building makeover and teaching Kishen household skills that eventually shaped the man he became in the present.

In 1975, Mala was portrayed as a goon-like tomboy rather than the sophisticated, glamorous woman Bunty knew from his present-day. This contrast highlights how both characters underwent significant personal changes over the decades, with Bunty's interference in 1975 playing a role in shaping their eventual personalities.

Bholi and Rai Bahadur Dhyanchand are strongly against love marriages and oppose Kishen and Mala's relationship. They represent the family's traditional values against the couple's romantic union. Bunty intervenes by arranging a secret temple wedding, and only after Kishen defends Mala by beating Kundan do the grandparents accept the marriage, recognizing Kishen's sincerity.

Kishen proves his love for Mala in two key ways: first, by winning the singing competition despite initially planning to lose, and second, by defending Mala's honor when Kundan insults her on the beach. When Kundan is beaten by Kishen, he acknowledges Kishen's courage and accepts him as a brother-in-law, leading to family acceptance.

When Bunty returns to the present with the repaired time machine, he finds his parents Kishen and Mala deeply in love and happily married - a stark contrast to the acrimonious relationship he left behind.

The time machine malfunctions during Bunty's trip to 1975, leaving him stranded in the past. This malfunction forces Bunty to navigate the turbulent socio-political landscape of 1975 Bombay, including the Emergency period, Raman Raghav's terror, and cultural shifts, adding complications to his mission of fixing his parents' relationship.

The 1975 Emergency declared by Prime Minister Indira Gandhi serves as the historical backdrop for Bunty's time travel. While the political turmoil of Raman Raghav's terror and the banning of international brands like Coca-Cola are mentioned, these elements are background context rather than sources of serious drama - they add period authenticity without driving the main plot.
