Jai Mummy Di is a delightful family comedy that explores the hilarious trials and tribulations faced by a couple, stemming from the strained dynamics between their mothers. The film highlights the intense rivalry between Laali Khanna (Supriya Pathak) and Pinky Bhalla (Poonam Dhillon), who simply cannot tolerate each other. Their children, Saanjh Bhalla (Sonalli Sehgal) and Puneet Khanna (Sunny Singh Nijjar), find themselves in a similar situation as they also have a burning animosity, despite secretly harboring love for each other.
The plot thickens when Teji, Laali’s maid, cunningly becomes a pawn in Laali’s vendetta against Pinky, dumping trash in Pinky’s home. Unbeknownst to their mothers, Saanjh and Puneet’s affection grows, but when Saanjh proposes marriage, Puneet hesitates due to concerns over his mom’s preferences, leading to a heartbreaking break-up.
As life moves on, Saanjh and Puneet step into new careers, but with their hearts still intertwined. Puneet receives an offer to work in Dubai, while Pinky’s mom insists on arranging marriage meetings for her with potential suitors. Eventually, Pinky agrees to marry a shy but rich man, Dev (Bhuvan Arora).
Determined to ensure that Puneet marries on the same day as Pinky, Laali arranges for Puneet’s engagement to a devout girl, Shruti (Shiwani Saini). In the wake of their engagements, Puneet desperately tries to win back Saanjh, who now presents herself as more selective and hard to convince. However, their love rekindles and they decide to be together forever, leaving them to confront the looming challenge of persuading their mothers.
As they investigate the source of their mothers’ feud, they find themselves at a dead end. In a moment of panic and fearing the dramatic consequences of their actions, they contemplate eloping but hesitate, worried that their mothers could have a heart attack. As their wedding dates draw near, the couple finds themselves unable to be apart, which prompts them to confide in their fathers, Gurpal Bhalla (Dan Husain) and Pinky’s dad. While supportive of their children’s love, the fathers dread the repercussions from their wives.
In a desperate bid, Puneet confesses to Shruti that he is gay, and Saanjh tells Dev about her wild past, but this plan backfires spectacularly as both partners turn out to be incredibly understanding. With the weddings fast approaching, chaos ensues when relatives start spreading scandalous rumors about Saanjh and Puneet. This culminates in confrontations that ultimately lead to the weddings being canceled.
However, the fathers seize this opportunity to unite their children, revealing that they have been secretly rooting for Saanjh and Puneet all along. In a heartwarming twist, Puneet uncovers the backstory of Laali and Pinky’s feud during their college days, realizing they once shared a close friendship that deteriorated over competition for a boy’s affection. Now, armed with this knowledge, Puneet encourages both mothers to reconcile, leading to a joyful resolution where families unite and love triumphs in the end!
