'Jis Desh Mein Ganga Rehta Hai' is the journey of a simpleton who revels in the security and warmth of his roots, only to discover that the roots are not really his.

Ganga (Govinda) is pure, moralistic and untouched by the realities of life beyond his village. He lives happily with his shepherd father (Shivaji Satam) and doting mother (Reema Lagoo). Saawri (Sonali Bendre), a pretty village belle, sees in Ganga the man of her dreams.

Ganga's blissful life comes crashing down when it is revealed that he is living with his foster parents. Ganga's parents are, in fact, industrialists (Shakti Kapoor & Himani Shivpuri) who live in the city. The story takes a dramatic turn when Ganga's real parents want him back.

Thus begins an uprooted Ganga's travails from the village to the city, as he discovers a new world, a new family, a new environment and new values unfolding in front of him. Once in the city, he meets Tina (Rinke Khanna), a modern city girl, who is unable to resist Ganga's rustic charm and she lends him her heart. Ganga is also introduced to his elder brother (Milind Gunaji), a dishonest man, his snobbish and scheming bhabhi (Supriya Karnik) and his spoilt younger brother (Ankush Chaudhary).

The king of frolics (Govinda) joins hand with the master of drama (director Mahesh Manjrekar) in a film that ensures generous doses of both.

'Jis Desh Mein Ganga Rehta Hai' is specially for those who believe that home is where the heart is. Ayesha Shroff, wife of Jackie Shroff, has produced this film which has music by Anand Raj Anand. The film is slated for release in October.
