After the critical success of Swami, Ganesh Acharya is back with his next directorial venture - Money Hai Toh Honey Hai, an out and out commercial flick. The movie is scheduled to be released on 25th July 2008, under the banner of ‘Big Screen Entertainment’.
It has been produced by Kumar Mangat, while Vishal Bharadwaj and Sameer are the music director and lyricist, respectively. The star cast of the film includes Govinda, Hansika Motwani, Manoj Bajpai, Celina Jaitley, Aftab Shivdasani, Ravi Kishan, Upen Patel, Kim Sharma and Isha Koppikar. Money Hai Toh Honey Hai is a film revolving around the life of six individuals - Bobby (Govinda), Lalaji (Manoj Bajpai), Gaurav (Aftab Shivdasani), Manik (Upen Patel), Ashima Kapoor (Hansika Motwani) and Shruti (Celina Jaitley).
Bobby is a carefree and easy going guy, who has run away from his home, in order to prove himself. Lalabhai is an ordinary guy, who one day discovers that he has won a lottery of Rs 1 crore. He invests the money in various businesses, only to lose everything once again and come back on the road. Gaurav is a copy writer who gets fired from his job, mainly for his honesty. Manik is a struggling model, trying to make his mark in the glamour world. He sleeps with a middle-aged fashion designer, in the hope of getting that one ‘big break’.
Ashima Kapoor is a successful TV star, however even she is not happy. The reason is that she wants to play the main lead in films. Last, but not the least, we have Shruti, another struggler, this time in the world of dress designing. All of them are leading their separate lives, till they get a call one day, from K.K. Jaiswal (Prem Chopra). Jaiswal tells each one of them that he wants to give them his estate, valued at Rs 1000 crore. Though all of them ignore him initially, later, they decide to give it a try. One by one, they reach a resort, with the dream of being the owner of the resort, along with textile industries.
This is when they realize that Jaiswal has called not one, but all six of them at the resort. Here, they meet Parag Batra (Ravi Kishan). Jaiswal is his uncle and Parag is the one who has managed the former’s estate for so many years. Now, Parag considers himself to be the rightful heir of Jaiswal Group and he is determined to get back the same from the six strangers.
When the six of them reach the resort, he begins to put his plan into action i.e. of instigating them against each other. What will happen now? Will Bobby, Lalaji, Gaurav, Manik, Ashima Kapoor and Shruti manage the estate together or keep on fighting amongst themselves? What will Parag do? To know the answers, all we have to do is, wait for the release.
