Waah! Tera Kya Kehna (2002) Plot Summary Explained

Dilip and Ashish plotted against Raj because their father Krishna Oberoi planned to name Raj as the sole heir to the estate, bypassing his own sons. Both brothers resented this decision and believed Raj was favored only because he was the youngest. When Raj suffered an accident that left him with childlike behavior, they saw an opportunity to eliminate him from the inheritance line entirely.

Foreshadowing: Earlier, Krishna openly expressed that his older sons only wanted his wealth, while Raj's genuine affection for Meena showed his stable character.

After the accident, Raj suffered brain damage that left him with childlike behavior and mental instability. This dramatically changed his capacity to act as heir. The engagement to Meena was called off because of his condition, and his uncles used this as an opportunity to push him out of the family and seize control of the inheritance.

Foreshadowing: The accident occurs suddenly during what appears to be a normal family gathering, marking the turning point of the film.

Murari, a scheming family employee, discovered Banne Khan in the desert and realized he was an exact lookalike of Raj.

The plan was to have Banne claim the inheritance and expose the uncles' crimes.

Foreshadowing: The film sets up the doppelganger plot when Murari encounters Banne Khan in the market area, noting their striking resemblance.
