Proud, wealthy, and haughty Kiran meets with down-to-earth middle-class fellow collegian, Shekhar, and after several clashes and misunderstandings, both fall in love and decide to get married. Shekhar meets with Kiran's dominating mother and mousy father, and is told that he must successfully pass a test that will be put to him through Kiran's mom, to which he agrees and subsequently passes, much to Kiran's delight. The marriage is performed with great pomp and ceremony and Shekhar becomes a ghar jamai. He soon realizes that his presence is next to a lowly servant. He rebels and wants Kiran to leave with him. But Kiran asks him to be patient. Thereafter identical twin girls are born (Ganga and Jamuna). Shekhar still feels that they would be better off living away from Kiran's family, differences arise, and Shekhar moves out with Ganga. Years later, the identical twins Ganga and Jamuna meet at a school outing and both decide to switch places to see how it is like on the other side. Both twins then devise a scheme that will bring their proud grandmother to her heels, and bring their parents together. Cast

Production 
Do Kaliyan was produced by AVM Productions. It is a remake of the studio's own Tamil film Kuzhandaiyum Deivamum (1965), itself based on the American film The Parent Trap (1961). Kuzhandaiyum Deivamum's director duo Krishnan–Panju returned to direct the Hindi remake. Kutty Padmini, who portrayed twin sisters in the original, was initially signed on to reprise her role, but later replaced with Neetu Singh due to conflicts Padmini had with AVM.<ref>{{Cite web |last=கணேஷ் |first=ஆ சாந்தி |title=``என் பொண்ணுங்களை சினிமாவுல நடிக்க அனுமதிக்காததுக்குக் காரணம் இதுதான் - குட்டி பத்மினி ஷேரிங்! |url=https://www.vikatan.com/news/celebrity/this-is-the-reason-why-my-daughters-are-not-allowed-to-act-in-movies-actress-kutty-padmini-sharing |access-date=9 November 2022 |website=Ananda Vikatan |language=ta |archive-date=9 November 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221109225251/https://www.vikatan.com/news/celebrity/this-is-the-reason-why-my-daughters-are-not-allowed-to-act-in-movies-actress-kutty-padmini-sharing |url-status=live }}</ref>
