Vashu is the only child of brilliant parents - Airhostess Anita and Dr.
Amit. But Vashu is also an extremely unhappy child. Because he has this
funny habit of covering his ears all the time, everybody in school
teases him and calls him 'Gandhiji's monkey'. While others laugh at
him, his friend Tanya is the only person who bothers to find out why
he's doing this. Vashu helplessly confesses that the moment he removes
his fingers, he starts hearing his parents fighting and the noise is
unbearable. Besides Tanya, Vashu's only other friend and ally is his
new maid, Gangu Tai.
When Vashu decides to enter the dance
competition in school, Gangu Tai promises to teach him, but the school
bully Rocky and his friends disrupt Vashu's practice and break his
music CD. Gangu Tai consoles a crying Vashu saying that if he prays to
Lord Ganesha, he will definitely help him. Gangu Tai tells Vashu the
story of Lord Ganesha and how he helped his friend Mushak Raj (the rat)
when he was in trouble. Gangu Tai reassures Vashu that if he befriends
Ganesha and promises to bring him home during the Ganapati festival,
then Lord Ganesha will also help him win the dance competition. As
Vashu befriends Lord Ganesha and brings him home, not only does he win
the dance competition but all his other serious problems also
miraculously disappear. But he also learns a very important lesson -
'Not To Take Lord Ganesha For Granted', because as Mushak Raj warns
him, Ganesha only helps those who help themselves!
