Storyline

After Delhi-based slacker-collegian, Bittoo Sharma's father asks him to return home to work in the sugar-cane fields, he refuses and decides to partner with career-minded wedding planner, Janakpuri-based Shruti Kakkar. She refuses to have to do anything with him, but after he impresses her, she partners with him, they set up 'Shaadi Mubarak' and begin organizing small wedding celebrations with struggling restaurateur and florist, Rajinder Singh and Maqbool respectfully. The duo hit big time after they organize a wedding party at Sainik Farm and begin to have dreams of bettering their lives. It is then Shruti realizes that she has fallen in love with Bittoo, and is embittered when he does not reciprocate. This bitterness gets worse, and the duo split up, with Bittoo opening 'Happy Weddings' - resulting in a downward spiral of their performance. With creditors hovering over them...

Trivia

The song 'Bari Barsi' is based on a very popular and old Punjabi folk music 'Boliyan'. The phrase "Bari Barsi Khatan Gaya Si" is welcomed with different responses each time it is repeated. This phrase could have a few different meanings, one of the meaning is "I was away(working) for a dozen years" . which means that the person in question was away earning for long years, he's now back home, and then the boli goes like "khat ke leyanda ..." which means "I brought back..." . The object that was brought home is changed everytime in a boli like this. So it could be anything & one creates its own boli on ad-lib. See more »

Goofs

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Rajinder has no experience with catering when Maqsood introduces him to Shruti. However in Pankaj and Sonja's marriage, Maqsood tells Shruti that Rajinder has been catering since 7 years. See more »
