Plot
Kavya, who’s engaged to an NRI American doctor, decides to go to Delhi to buy an expensive designer bridal dress for her wedding, after her father refuses to get her the costly dress. She meets Humpty Sharma in Delhi, who falls in love with her. Humpty, with the help of his friends, Shonty and Poplu, chases Kavya, but she’s not interested. She, however, befriends him. Kavya confides in Humpty, that her friend in Delhi, Gurpreet, was blackmailed by her ex-boyfriend, who had secretly filmed a sex sequence of the two. Humpty stumbles upon the idea of victimizing Gurpreet’s ex that would also avenge Gurpreet, and also gather the money for the wedding dress for Kavya. They manage to get some money but Kavya isn’t happy about the way that money is obtained. However, these ensuing adventures make Kavya fall for Humpty, and the night before she’s supposed to leave Delhi for her home in Ambala, she makes love with him. When Humpty asks her if she loved him, she says she won’t go against the wishes of her father, who has arranged her marriage with an NRI. In order to help Humpty get the money for Kavya’s dress, Humpty’s father and friends chip in money. Kavya reluctantly accepts the money and leaves Delhi.
Kavya is a changed person when she arrives home. She tells her family that she has decided not to buy that expensive dress. In the meantime, she gifts a car to Humpty using that money, as she had known about Humpty’s father’s dream for car. Overwhelmed, Humpty and his friends, goes to Ambala, where Humpty tries to win over Kavya. Kavya’s father believes in arranged marriages, as his older daughter, Swati married against the wishes of her father and later her wedding turned out to be a disaster ending in divorce. Kavya’s father instantly disapproves Humpty, and gets him & his friends beaten up. Upon repeated persuasion, he asks to give Humpty one reason why his daughter shouldn’t marry that NRI, Angad. He sets him a five day deadline to give him the reason. Humpty and his friends try their best to find flaws in Angad but fail to do so.
At the end of the deadline and on her wedding day, Kavya runs away from her home and calls Humpty to join her on a train to leave the town. Kavya’s father and family reach the train station, where Kavya’s father is extremely angry and hits Humpty. Humpty gives an emotional explanation saying that he may not be as rich, successful or good-looking as Angad, but he loves Kavya from the core of his heart. He leaves Ambala after that incident. When Kavya is dressed up as a bride, her father asks her if she still fancies that expensive wedding dress. She replies she’s not fit for expensive classy dress, but is suitable for local dresses. Her father gets the idea that her relationship would be fuller with Humpty, the local boy and not Angad, the American doctor. He approaches Humpty and gives his consent to marry his daughter.
