Plot
Anna is a NRI girl living in London whose father wants her to get married to an Indian lad. However, Anna is deeply involved in a platonic relationship with a half-British boy Harry. Anna's brother, Sid is in a relationship with a British girl and wants to marry her. However, his father refuses to let him marry her which makes Sid choose to leave his parents' home. Meanwhile, Anna's father manages to bring his wife and daughter to India where he can find a suitable groom for his daughter. They meet Raj, a quintessential charming Bengali lad who falls in love with Anna and their marriage is finalized since Raj's father is an old friend of Anna's dad. However, although Anna likes Raj, she hatches a plan to delay and finally annul the engagement by implementing her brother's plan of bringing Raj to London and 'breaking up' with him abroad. Now in a foreign land, Raj tackles the adversities before him to win over Anna and marry her at last. After such situations, Harry's true nature is revealed when he misbehaves with Anna and Raj stops it. At last, he and Anna get married and live happily ever after.

Controversy
The producers of the movie were sued for plagiarism soon after the release of the film by Vipul Shah who produced Namastey London who alleged that the plot was his film. The film was banned from screening twice, once by a lower court and later by Calcutta High Court. After the High Court decision, the producers came to a settlement after Shree Venkatesh Films agreed to pay a fine of seventy-five lakh (7.5 million) rupees. This out-of-court settlement can be considered hefty since the making of the film took about 2 crore (20 million) rupees. Moreover, the settlement required the movie to display a title card stating 'Based on Namastey London, a film by Vipul Amrutlal Shah'.[4]
