## Plot

Aman Tripathi and Kartik Singh are advertisers, Aman hailing from an orthodox middle-class family in Allahabad. His father, Shankar Tripathi, is a conservative agricultural scientist, who invented *kaali gobis* (black cauliflowers). His mother, Sunaina Tripathi is a housewife, who is always concerned about her son and his marriage arrangement. In the joint family, there are his uncle Chaman, his aunt Champa, their daughter Rajni "Goggle" Tripathi, and Keshav, among others. Aman and Kartik are in love, and live together in Delhi.

Sunaina asks Aman to attend Goggle's wedding. Sunaina and Shankar intend to marry Aman off to a family friend's daughter, Kusum Nigam. Aman and Kartik board the train "Vivah Express", on which Aman's family are already present. Aman and Kartik share a kiss a train compartment away from the family, but are seen by Shankar, who vomits immediately. Kartik suggests to Aman about talking to his father, telling him he was more educated than Kartik's own. Shankar hoses Aman down without listening to him and asks him to stay away from Kartik.

Aman, fed up with his father's stares and nagging, publicly kisses Kartik at Goggle's wedding, leaving everyone shocked and helpless. Aman confronts his parents, who remain unconvinced and against his sexuality. Kartik is whisked away by Chaman to the railway station; Shankar threatens suicide and blackmails Aman into agreeing to marry Kusum. Meanwhile, Ashok refuses to marry Goggle due to Aman's sexuality. Goggle tries to commit suicide at the railway station, but Kartik stops her. Kartik convinces Goggle that she has a family who loves and supports her, and Goggle, in turn, convinces Kartik to stay and win back Aman.

Kusum tells Aman that she is already in love with a man called Rakesh. She gives a proposition: that they will marry, but continue to live with their respective lovers in Delhi. Aman refuses, but is coerced into the arrangement anyway. Shankar persuades Sunaina to rechristen Aman as "Chandravadhan" in order to cleanse him of his "sins". Goggle and Kartik appear at the scene, Kartik talks about homophobia whilst wearing a pride flag as a cape. Shankar beats Kartik up with a stick, Aman flees the scene, and Kartik falls unconscious.

Later at night, the family fights over Goggle's situation and Aman's sexuality. Goggle refuses to marry. Aman, who had locked himself in his room since earlier that day, agrees to marry Kusum under the condition that Kartik remains safe. His family start the wedding preparations. Kartik tries to convince Aman to not marry Kusum, but Aman is unable to fight against his family. Kartik decides to leave after the *baaraat*.

On the day of the wedding, Shankar and Sunaina learn that the Supreme Court is going to deliver it's judgment on the decriminalization of homosexuality (removal of Section 377) the next day. They fight over their past lovers and understand that they have been living with each other half-heartedly. They feel that they do not want the same for their son, but decide to proceed with the wedding anyway, thinking that everything will be fine after the wedding.

Meanwhile, Kusum steals all of Sunaina's jewelry and escapes, leaving behind a letter in Aman's room. Kartik reads the letter and disguises himself as the 'bride', almost getting away with it with the help of Goggle. Shankar suspects something is wrong, and inadvertently chases the "bride", when Kartik reveals himself to everyone's surprise. Goggle then hands over Kusum's note to Sunaina, shocking everyone. Aman confesses his love for Kartik in front of his family, and decides to do the *saat phere* with Kartik in front of everyone.

At that moment, the police arrives with Kusum; to arrest Aman and Kartik. The family, though still not completely understanding Kartik and Aman's homosexuality, tries to stop the police, who refuse to leave and end up staying the night. The next day, the Supreme Court decriminalizes homosexuality. Aman and Kartik celebrate and reconcile with the family, and decide to leave for Delhi. Shankar goes with them to the station, where he apologises to Aman, and connects with Kartik as well. Kartik and Aman parallel the iconic ending from *Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge*, finally happy, accepted and together.
