Plot
Kahani (Mahie Gill) and her husband Nirbhay (Priyanshu Chatterjee) had planned to celebrate their wedding anniversary in Goa, but due to some last-minute work, Nirbhay stayed back and Kahani had to travel alone. While she waits for her husband in Goa, she picks up a book to read written by her favourite author, Nagarjun (Nana Patekar). After a short while, a visitor rings the doorbell of her house, who turns out to be none other than Nagarjun himself. The conversation that follows between the two, involves Nagarjun talking about love, its true meaning, and the relevance it has in our lives, and it forms the crux of the film.

Critical reception
Mihir Bhanage of The Times of India found the film to be boring and gave it a rating of 2 out of 5 saying that, "If you have issues in your love-life, visit a marriage counsellor. Wedding Anniversary will only add some phrases to your Hindi/Urdu vocabulary."[9] Nandini Ramnath of Scroll said that, "'Wedding Anniversary' is as much fun as a divorce hearing".[10] Vishal Verma of Glamsham gave the film a rating of 1 out of 5 and said that, "Wedding Anniversary is an unintentional horror that makes us wonder what on earth are talents like Nana Patekar and Mahie Gill doing in this flick?"[11]
