Step 1: Equilibrium

The movie begins with a student (Krish Malhotra) who is looking to pursue his MBA, who comes from a troubled, rich family with a Punjabi heritage. He meets his classmate Ananya Swaminathan, who comes from a Tamil Brahmin family. They both become friends and start studying with each other, Soon they begin dating and stay together for the next 22 months on the campus. This displays a happy start and everything is as it should be.


Step 2: A Disruption
When they complete their graduation, Krish and Ananya decide to get married. Therefore, they decide to introduce their parents to each other at the graduation ceremony. However, Krish’s mother Kavita does not get along with Ananya’s parents. Ananya begins her job in Chennai, whilst Krish’s family tell him to get into an arranged marriage with a Punjabi girl. Krish leaves his family and starts his job in Chennai. During this time, e tries to win over Ananya’s family. He tutors her younger brother and gets her mother a singing opportunity. However, both families stick by their decisions


Step 3: Realisation
Krish and Ananya take their families on a vacation to solve the differences and hopefully changing their families’ perspectives of the other cast. Unfortunately, the vacation does not go as planned hen Krish’s mother expresses her opinions about the Tamil culture. Therefore, having heard enough insults, Ananya breaks up with Krish and both return to their own states. This creates further tension between the characters with no attempt to resolve the problem.

Sometime later, Krish receives a call from Ananya, who reveals that Krish’s father had come down to Chennai to speak to Ananya’s parents to fix the issues, apologise for his wife behaviour and settle the idea of marriage.


Step 5: Equilibrium again
After both families happily agree for the marriage of Krish and Ananya. Therefore, the problem is resolved and everyone is happy with their decisions and the outcomes.
