English Summary:

The film's central story deals with the organisation of an enormous, chaotic, and expensive wedding that is due to take place in a modern Indian family. Lalit Verma (Naseeruddin Shah) and his wife Pimmi (Lillete Dubey) have arranged a marriage for their daughter Aditi (Vasundhara Das) to Hemant Rai (Parvin Dabas). Hemant is the son of a family friend who lives in Texas, and Aditi has only known him for a few weeks. As so often happens in Indian culture, such a wedding means that, for one of the few times in each generation, the extended family comes together from all corners of the globe, bringing its emotional baggage along.

Lalit and Pimmi are helped with the main planning by Pimmi's sister Shashi and her husband C.L (Kulbhushan Kharbanda), who have arrived earlier from Oman. A few days before the engagement, Tej Puri (Rajat Kapoor), Lalit's extremely wealthy brother-in-law, arrives from the U.S.. Tej is married to Lalit's sister and has helped the Verma family regain their financial footing after the Partition of India left them penniless many years ago. Tej offers to pay for Aditi's cousin, Ria Verma (Shefali Shah) to attend university in the U.S., after the family consults him for advice. Ria and her mother live with the Verma family, who took them in after the death of Ria's father. Despite his generous offer, Ria stays away from Tej and is not comfortable in his presence.

Turkish Summary:

Hindistan, Yeni Delhi'de oturan Verma ailesi, kızları Aditi'yi, Amerika'da yaşayan aile dostlarının mühendis oğlu Hemant ile evlendirmeye karar vermişlerdir. Kendinden yaşça büyük ve evli bir spiker olan Vikram ile ilişkisi devam eden Aditi, yaşadığı aşkın geleceği olmadığını görerek hayatına bir düzen vermek için ailesinin bu kararını kabul eder ancak düğün öncesinde ilişkisini tam olarak bitirmeyi başaramaz. Sıkıntısını nişanlısı ile paylaşır. Onun dürüstlüğünden hoşlanan Hemant, eğer isterse bu durumun üstesinden birlikte gelebileceklerini söyler ve düğün hazırlıklarına devam etmeye karar verirler.
