The story is about four friends, all young women, who are facing issues with relationships, both family and sexual. Kalindi (Kareena Kapoor) has been living in with her boyfriend, Rishabh (Sumeet Vyas), for two years in Australia, but she has a phobia about marriage and professes theoretical opposition to the idea of marriage. Her parents used to fight a lot, and her father, Kishan, remarried soon after her mother's death. When Rishabh proposes to her, Kalindi is taken aback, but then she agrees to marriage for Rishabh's happiness. Avni (Sonam Kapoor) is a practising lawyer in Delhi whose specialization is divorce cases. Her mother is looking for a suitable groom for her, but Avni's daily professional experience makes her very nervous about marriage. Sakshi (Swara Bhaskar) is already married, but is living with her parents after moving out of her husband's home. The reasons for her break up with her husband are not known at this point. Meera (Shikha Talsania) has married an American, John, with whom she has a son named Kabir. Her father was intensely opposed to the marriage for cultural reasons. He felt that in western culture, marriages are never stable because they are mainly about sex, and he felt his daughter would suffer. Meera is still estranged from her father, and though she misses him, she refuses to meet him until he accepts John. Kalindi travels to Delhi to get married, and stays with an uncle for these few weeks. Her father Kishan and his current wife, Paromita, offer to help Kalindi in her wedding. Kalindi is overwhelmed by Rishabh's affectionate, wholesome family and their deep, supportive involvement with each other. She is disturbed by the fact that they place much importance on the religious ceremonies connected to a Hindu wedding and on the significance of each ritual: sharing the good and the bad together, and so on. She finds this cloying and thinks they will expect a lot from her after marriage, and she has always cherished her independence and individualism. Rishabh's family are surprised at the fact that Kalindi hardly seems to have any family, that she is even estranged from her father, and that her rather wierd uncle is unmarried (he is gay and has a live-in partner). All three of Kalindi's friends attend the engagement ceremony, which turns into a fiasco. Avni, whose mother is seeking a match for her, gets drunk and ends up sleeping with Rishabh's handsome cousin Bhandari, who is a perfect stranger to her; they are caught. Sakshi, the not-quite-divorced woman, leaves the party midway, distraught at the gossipy women's jibes. Meera is asked what her religion is, and why, if her husband is an American Christian, her son has been given a Muslim name, Kabir? Even Rishabh says that he had expected to meet Kalindi's family at least now. He comments about her not having a proper family, and not having "proper" friends either. This infuriates Kalindi, and she leaves her own engagement party. The next morning, Avni, Sakshi, and Meera find Kalindi in her old home, where she grew up. Rishabh apologizes to Kalindi, and they patch up, but not quite. She explains that she cannot fulfill his family's expectations, they have strong family ties and wholesome traditional values, and Kalindi simply has no background to give her any of this. They break up, and Rishabh does not seem very unhappy about it. It is Kalindi's friends who are really unhappy about this break-up. They try to reason with her, explaining that Rishabh is a good man and his family is a priceless gift. Kalindi points out each of her friend's flaws instead, resulting in an argument. Sakshi, believing they have become too overwhelmed with troubles, buys her friends a vacation to Thailand. They reconnect and come clean about their respective issues: Kalindi about her commitment issues, Avni about wanting to marry the right guy, and Sakshi (Swara Bhaskar) finally opens up about why her husband wants to divorce her. One day, he walked into their bedroom and found her masturbating with a vibrator; appalled, he decided to divorce her. Sakshi is embarrassed to tell her parents the truth. Meera explains that she and John haven't had sex in a year after her son's birth. Everyone decides to go back and face their problems. The friends are recharged this way and resolve to get their families and boyfriends to either go their way or just go away. Sakshi tells her parents about the vibrator and her husband not understanding her need for it. They decide to support her in securing a divorce, of course with a large alimony. Meera phones John and they make up. He calls Meera's father and tells him about his grandson; then he flies down to India to meet everyone and take his wife and child back with him. Avni tells her mother about her reluctance to settle for an arranged marriage. She cheekily promises to keep her mother informed about her adventures as she tries out various boys before making her decision. Kalindi's friends pressurize Kuki (her gay uncle) to resolve his feud with Kishan, which is both about property (the family home) and about Kuki's hippy lifestyle. The girls are not doing this selflessly: the brothers talk and resolve their issues, and as neither of them has other heirs, they accept the suggestion and transfer the family house to Kalindi as their wedding gift. Kalindi then proposes to Rishabh, and they decide to marry. The wedding is held in her home (as is traditional in India), and the ceremony is a smaller affair with fewer guests. Sakshi breaks the news of her generous divorce settlement to the gossipy women. Avni finds that Bhandari is interested in her, and decides to give him a chance. In all of the four cases, feminism and modernity has prevailed, family values have been vanquished, individualism is center stage and wholesome families have been thoroughly excluded. The film ends with everyone dancing, of course in western style to disco beats, at the wedding reception.
