Plot
The story centers on the constant rivalry between two brothers Pritam and Pyare, who maintain a running tally of their pranks and one-upmanship in their signature "tit-for-tat" fights.{{Cite news |date=2014-03-19 |title=Pritam supernatural prank supernatual prank scares pyaare |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/tv/news/hindi/pritam-supernatural-prank-supernatual-prank-scares-pyaare/articleshow/32292420.cms |access-date=2024-12-25 |work=The Times of India |issn=0971-8257}} Their lives are intertwined with Tiku Killawala, a wealthy businessman married to their younger sister, Gogi. Tiku deeply loves Gogi, but is constantly exasperated by her brothers' well-intentioned but troublesome ghostly antics. Gogi, in turn, has a soft spot for Pritam and Pyare and often intervenes on their behalf, pressuring Tiku to forgive their misdeeds and preventing him from throwing them out of the house, despite his frustration.
The show's central comedic premise revolves around Pritam and Pyare accidentally solving a ghostbusting case at the beginning of the series, earning them undeserved praise. This leads them to establish a laboratory where they research and create useless yet unique gadgets designed for trapping ghosts. Despite the gadgets' complete ineffectiveness (or even being forgotten at home), the cases are often resolved through coincidental events or the ghosts' own actions. Pritam and Pyare, however, firmly believe that their gadgets are responsible for their success.
To manage the brothers, Tiku employs Mary, a smart, beautiful, and charming secretary tasked with keeping them out of trouble. Pritam and Pyare are both smitten with Mary and constantly try to impress her, but she skillfully keeps them at bay while managing to get her work done. Adding to Tiku's woes is his mother-in-law, Nimmi Gulati, who lives with them and is prone to hallucinations. Tiku endures her eccentricities out of respect for her age.
The series features Rajesh Kumar as Dara Koyla, described as India’s first tall, lean, aristocratic-looking vampire on television. Dressed impeccably in black with a flowing cape, Dara possesses the ability to morph into a bat and hypnotize his victims. He is averse to sunlight and sleeps in his coffin during the day. He is aided by Dumroo, a hunchback (played by Sukesh Anand), and Hatuba, a monster (portrayed by Madan), in his gothic mansion.{{Cite news |date=2014-03-01 |title=Pritam Pyaare Aur Woh is India's first Ghosht Buster show |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/tv/news/hindi/pritam-pyaare-aur-woh-is-indias-first-ghosht-buster-show-on-sab-tv/articleshow/31206528.cms |access-date=2024-12-25 |work=The Times of India |issn=0971-8257}}
