The Mehta-Kamble household is at their wit's end-it just won't rain, and their beloved pied cuckoo is refusing to pay them a visit. After all, the bird is the harbinger of the monsoon in India.
Subhir and Kiana watch horror-struck as their family starts coming up (and coming apart) with the oddest of plans to concoct recipes for rain-from yucky fondants to hair-raising songs, and whatnots. Even Catrina the cat is fed up.
But then, wait a minute... did their plans just work? No, it couldn't be. Could it? Will Subhir and Kiana ever see the end of their family's schemes?
