In the city of Riverside, two grown men lived very unusual lives.

Arjun Mehta, 39 years old, still lived with his mother Savita. He had never worked a day in his life, loved watching cartoons, and believed he was destined to become a famous singer — even though his voice was terrible.

Across town, Rohit Sharma, 40 years old, stayed with his father Prakash. Rohit was equally childish, obsessed with video games, and thought he would one day become a karate champion. He was lazy, quick-tempered, and hated responsibility.

Neither man cared about growing up.

One day, Savita and Prakash met at a conference and fell in love. After a short romance, they got married. This meant that Arjun and Rohit — two overgrown children — were forced to live together as stepbrothers in the same house.

At first, both were shocked and angry. Arjun hated the idea of sharing his mother’s attention, while Rohit didn’t want another man in his room. From the moment they met, they argued over silly things. Bedroom, ice-cream, TV remote, car seat became the hottest topic for both of them to argue and fight upon. Their childish fights drove Savita and Prakash crazy.

Arjun and Rohit competed in everything. Once, Arjun tried to sing loudly during breakfast to prove his “talent,” but Rohit banged pots and pans to drown him out. Another time, Rohit practiced karate moves in the living room, only to kick a lamp that broke into pieces.

The parents begged them to act like adults, but both ignored the advice.

Things got worse when Rohit’s successful younger brother Vikram visited. Vikram had a big job, a nice car, and a perfect family. He insulted Arjun and Rohit, calling them “losers” who never achieved anything. Both stepbrothers felt humiliated but secretly wanted to prove him wrong.

After weeks of fighting, something unexpected happened. Arjun discovered that Rohit also loved silly action movies. Rohit realized Arjun hated Vikram as much as he did. Slowly, their rivalry turned into friendship.

One night, they built a huge “dream bunk bed” in their room, stacking two beds on top of each other. It collapsed within minutes, but both laughed so hard that their bond grew stronger.

They started doing everything together — watching movies, making up ridiculous songs, and planning a fake company that would sell “karaoke and karate lessons combined.”

For the first time, they felt like real brothers.

However, Savita and Prakash were exhausted. Their house was a mess, neighbors complained about the noise, and neither stepbrother tried to get a job. Finally, the parents decided enough was enough. They told Arjun and Rohit they would have to grow up, find work, and act responsible — or else move out.

The brothers tried. Arjun went for a job interview but started singing instead of answering questions. Rohit went to another interview but got into a fight with the interviewer over video game rankings. Both were rejected.

One day, at a family event, Vikram insulted Arjun and Rohit again. The brothers reacted by performing their ridiculous “karaoke-karate” routine in front of everyone. Instead of laughing, the audience booed. Savita and Prakash were embarrassed and announced they were considering a divorce because their sons refused to grow up.

Arjun and Rohit blamed each other, and their friendship broke. They stopped talking and returned to being rivals.

Months later, at another family function organized by Vikram, things changed. Arjun gathered the courage to sing properly, while Rohit backed him up with his silly karate moves. Surprisingly, the mix of music and comedy entertained the guests.

Their parents saw genuine effort and teamwork. For the first time, Arjun and Rohit were not just acting like spoiled children — they were supporting each other like real brothers.

Savita and Prakash gave their marriage another chance. Arjun and Rohit didn’t exactly become successful, but they matured a little. They still argued, fought over TV remotes, and played pranks on each other — but now, their bond as brothers was stronger than ever.

The odd brothers of Riverside finally proved that even the most childish men could grow — at least a little — when forced to share a home and a family.
