Plot

Manu comes to India to find a bride and falls for Tanu at first sight, but free-spirited Tanu has no plan to marry him.

London-based Dr. Manoj Sharma returns home to Delhi, and in the company of his parents, Kishan and Anju, as well as several others, travels to Chaman Ganj, Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh to meet his prospective bride, Tanuja Trivedi. He approves of her, informs his elders, and they begin preparations for the marriage. He gets a rude awakening when Tanuja tells him that she already has a boyfriend and plans to marry him even against her parents' wishes. Manoj informs his parents, and they start seeking other girls for him--in vain, as his heart is set on Tanuja--and he prepares to return home unmarried. Manoj and Tanuja are fated to meet again in Kapurthala, Punjab, while attending the marriage of Jaspreet Singh Jassi and Payal Sinha. While Manoj hopes to win Tanuja's heart, he will face more rejection when she enlists his assistance to elope with another male.—rAjOo (gunwanti@hotmail.com)

London-based Dr. Manoj Sharma/Manu (Madhavan) returns home to Delhi, and in the company of his parents, Kishan (K K Raina) and Anju (Dipti Mishra), as well as several others, travels to Chaman Ganj, Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh to meet his prospective bride, Tanuja Trivedi (Kangana Raut). Tanu is the daughter of Rajendra (Rajendra Gupta) and Radha (Navni Parihar). Radha exaggerates and says that Tanu is very domestic, and she cooked everything that was served to the guests that day. Radha says that Tanu is running a fever and cannot meet the guests, but she invites Manu to meet Tanu in her room.

Tanu falls asleep when Manu first meets her. Manu loves this about her and takes her kiss on her cheeks while she is asleep. He approves of her, informs his elders and they begin preparations for the marriage. Tanu is vivacious & mischievous while Manu is reserved & disciplined. The 2 families leave for Mata Vaishno Devi pilgrimage right after the wedding is announced.

Subsequently, during the trip, Manu gets a rude awakening when Tanuja tells him that she already has a boyfriend Awasthi (Jimmy Sheirgill) (a railway contractor) whose men manhandled Manu when he arrived at the station. Tanu plans to marry her boyfriend even against her parents' wishes. She smokes & frankly tells Manu that she hates everyone that comes to see her. She had vodka & sleeping pills when Manu had come & that's why she was asleep. She asks Manu to refuse for the wedding. Pappi (Deepak Dobriyal) is Manu's family relative & his closest friend.

Tanu's dad has taken everyone to Vaishno Devi & Manu finds it difficult to say anything there. But Tanu pressurizes him. Manoj informs his parents, and they set about to see other girls for their son - albeit in vain - as he has his heart set on Tanuja and is all set to return back unmarried.

Raja is the brother of a girl that Manu has gone to see. The girl Ayushi (Neha Kaul) is physically challenged (her one hand is slightly disfigured), & Raja pleads Manu to marry her. Awasthi says that Ayushi is very nice and will keep Manu happy beyond his expectations. But Manu is honest with him about his mental state not being right. He says that he only came to honor the feelings of his parents. Raja likes Manu's honesty.

Manu is depressed about having to leave India without Tanu, when Pappi tells him their childhood friend Jasspreet "Jassi" Gill (Eijaz Khan) is getting married & both head to Kapurthala. To their astonishment, Tanu is the best friend of the bride Payal Sinha (Swara Bhaskar). Jassi is from Punjab, while Payal is from Bihar, and they met at a common friend's wedding in Delhi.

Manoj hopes to win Tanuja's heart in Punjab. Pappi tells Jassi about Manu's feelings for Tanu. Jassi gets Manu & Tanu to meet when he is meeting Payal before the wedding. Tanu is not apologetic & knows Manu is lusting after her. She indicates that she has had many boyfriends in the past.

As the wedding festivities commence, Manu tries hard to get Tanu's attention. Tanu goes on a date with Manu. Jassi thinks it's set & calls Manu's parents with the good news that Tanu and Manu are back together. A local Romeo Bhampi had eyes on Tanu & when he sees her with Manu, calls her parents & asks them to come to the wedding. As both parents arrive Tanu thinks Manu has invited them as he is still harboring dreams of marrying her.

Payal confronts Tanu about her rebel attitude & tries to talk sense into her that Manu is a good guy & offers her a great life. But Tanu doesn't budge on her love for Awasthi. Payal tells her that Manu is leaving & Tanu rushes to the station. Tanu tells Manu that next day her boyfriend is coming & they are getting married the day after. She asks Manu to stay till the wedding.

Manu leaves & meets Raja on the train. He was going to Kapurthala for some work but caught the wrong train. Manu tells him everything & Raja promises him that he will get Manu married to his girl. Raja convinces him to attend Jassi's wedding. At the wedding Manu introduces Raja to Tanu. After the wedding Raja calls Manu & tells him clearly that that they both love the same girl. Raja came to Punjab to marry Tanu. He asks Manu to come to the registrar office with 2 garlands.

Manu arrives, but since they are late the office is closed & the wedding is delayed till the next day. Raja tells Manu that no one will vouch for him hence he can't marry Tanu legitimately. That night Manu talks to Tanu's dad & convinces him to marry Tanu to Raja. The wedding is set & Manu is invited. Raja asks Manu to get Tanu her wedding dress as he is travelling outside town for work. Manu takes her shopping & when Tanu asks, pours his heart out to her.

Tanu tells Raja that she loves Manu. But Raja thinks that she is being impulsive as always & tells her not to destroy Manu's life. Tanu asks Manu to profess his love & he does. She confirms to her parents that she will wed Manu. Her parents & Manu go to Raja's house to refuse them, but Raja threatens them with a gun & tells them that he will arrive with the Baaraat the next day.

The next day 2 Baaraats arrive at Tanu's door. Manu goes to Raja & says that he is taking Tanu & that Raja should do what he feels is right. Tanu sides with Raja as well. Raja is about to shoot Manu when he remembers his promise to Manu that he will get him married to his girl (back when Manu came to see his sister). He manfully withdraws and Tanu finally weds Manu.
