Their parents played by Ratna Pathak and Rajat Kapoor are quarreling over finances, marriage and more. The brothers have their own battles with the parents and each other. One night, at a friend’s party, Arjun meets an attractive, flamboyant, girl, Tia, played by Alia Bhatt. Arjun instantly strikes a chord with her. Rahul meets Tia as well, regarding a prospective business deal. As family secrets begin to unravel and misunderstandings grow, Rahul and Arjun both fall in love with the same girl.

The family members who seem perfect aren’t necessarily so, and the ones who seem imperfect have had their reasons. The makers call it a “rollercoaster of laughs, tears and emotions, a dramedy with soul.”
