Plot

Simran "Ginny" Juneja (Yami Gautam) lives in Delhi with her mother, Shobha Juneja (Ayesha Raza Mishra), a matchmaker who is constantly trying to find a suitable husband for her daughter. However, Ginny scares away potential grooms with her unconventional conditions, including strict plans for children, mandatory medical checkups, and a "test drive" period before marriage. Despite her mother's efforts, Ginny wants a love marriage and remains emotionally attached to her former boyfriend, Nishant Rathee (Suhail Nayyar), even though they claim to be just friends.

Meanwhile, Satnam "Sunny" Sethi (Vikrant Massey) has lost faith in love and simply wants to get married and settle down. A talented cook, Sunny dreams of opening his own restaurant. His father, Pappi Sethi (Rajiv Gupta), promises financial support for the restaurant if Sunny gets married.

Through mutual connections, Shobha suggests Sunny as a match for Ginny. Although Sunny already has a crush on her, Ginny barely notices him. Determined to make the match work, Shobha secretly helps Sunny create opportunities to spend time with Ginny. He begins taking the same metro as her, assists her with work-related targets, joins environmental activities she cares about, and gradually becomes a regular presence in her life.

Despite several awkward and unsuccessful attempts to impress her, Sunny slowly wins Ginny's friendship. As they spend more time together, Ginny opens up about her late father and her past relationships. During a trip to Mussoorie, the two grow especially close, and Sunny eventually proposes to her. Just as he is about to kiss her, Nishant unexpectedly arrives.

Realizing he still has feelings for Ginny, Nishant proposes to her in front of Sunny without even waiting for her response. Heartbroken, Sunny leaves. Over time, Ginny begins to understand that Nishant is indecisive and wants her to fit into his lifestyle, whereas Sunny accepts her exactly as she is.

When Ginny attempts to reconnect with Sunny, he tells her to return only when she is certain about what she truly wants. Eventually, Ginny rejects Nishant, recognizing that their relationship is no longer right for her.

However, complications arise when Ginny discovers that her mother and Sunny had been secretly orchestrating many of their encounters. Feeling manipulated and betrayed, she angrily cuts ties with Sunny and declares she will never marry him.

Believing he has lost Ginny forever, Sunny agrees to marry another woman, Neha. Meanwhile, Nishant apologizes to Ginny and admits that Sunny genuinely loves her. Realizing her true feelings, Ginny finally understands that she loves Sunny too.

On the eve of his wedding, Sunny recreates Ginny's favorite birthday traditions, including celebrating at an orphanage and taking her to a Gurudwara for the first time since her father's death. These gestures help Ginny fully accept her feelings for him.

The next morning, Ginny confesses her love. The couple decides to call off Sunny's wedding to Neha, but Neha's influential family reacts angrily and threatens both families if the marriage is cancelled.

The wedding proceeds, with the bride's face hidden beneath a veil. At the ceremony, it is revealed that Ginny and Neha secretly switched places after Ginny convinced Neha not to go through with a marriage she didn't truly want. Sunny unknowingly marries Ginny, while Neha explains to her family that this decision is best for everyone involved.

The film ends with Sunny and Ginny finally united, having overcome misunderstandings, manipulation, and family pressure to find their way to each other.
