Crazy Kutumba is a remake of the Marathi film De Dhakka, which is inspired by the Hollywood film Little Miss Sunshine. It is romantic-comedy film with a message of human triumph over adversity.

The first half of the movie deals with the journey through which the director discovers the strength and weaknesses of all the characters. The second half deals with the problems created by different dreams.
