Three robbers attempt to steal jewels from a building in London, but are captured by the police.
Six years later, Batuk Patel, a wealthy and successful businessman, disapproves the marriages he sees looming for his three daughters — Ganga, Jamuna, and Saraswati — believing that the women in his family have been cursed by past unions. At a friends’ party, the sisters confess to secretly having boyfriends, and each girl is paired with a suitor who dreams of a big future: Sandy, who longs to own a football club; Teddy, an aspiring racer; and Bunty, who wants to become a rapper. The romance is complicated by Sandy’s volatile split personality, Sundy, which flares whenever he hears the word “Indian.” Yet the bigger twist is that the boys are not pursuing love for love’s sake — they are secretly marrying for Batuk’s fortune.
When the daughters reveal their relationships, Batuk enlists help from a restaurant owner named Aakhri Pasta, who dresses as a fortune teller and stakes out a chilling prophecy: once the husbands first see, speak to, or enter Batuk’s house, Batuk will die. The daughters, desperate to keep their lovers, press the men to pretend to be disabled to test the prophecy, so Sandy fakes a crippling limp, Teddy pretends to be blind, and Bunty feigns muteness. Batuk tests the trio but finds no lie, and the boys discover each other’s ruses. Rather than fracturing, they conspire to share Batuk’s fortune among themselves.
In a revelatory twist at Pasta’s restaurant, Batuk admits a deeper secret: his daughters are, in fact, Urja Nagre’s daughters, the offspring of the feared underworld lord. Batuk, a former associate of Nagre, had looked after the girls while Nagre was jailed. He had concealed the truth about his belief in “bad luck” from marriages and orchestrated Nagre’s imprisonment to secretly marry the girls to his own sons — Rishi, Rohan, and Rajeev — who are the robbers who once tried to steal the jewels, in order to claim Nagre’s wealth. However, Nagre himself has now immigrated to London.
As the girls help repair a wax statue of Jamuna at Batuk’s request, the trio heads into town and pass themselves off as disabled in the eyes of Batuk and Nagre. Teddy is mute, Bunty is crippled, and Sandy is blind. Nagre probes Batuk about suitable husbands for his daughters, and Batuk curtly claims he knows three men who fit the bill. To seal the match, Batuk brings Nagre to a Gurdwara to see his “orphaned” sons performing community service, and Nagre selects the three chosen men.
Back at Batuk’s house, Nagre asserts that Batuk owes him 50 million pounds. He grants the boys ten days to come up with the money or see their lovers wed to the “chosen” trio. During this period, Nagre and his “sons” will live with Batuk, forcing the girls’ boyfriends to perform as if they were the real husbands, testing their loyalty in front of both patriarchs. A beer festival becomes a turning point: the girls orchestrate a plan to get Batuk’s sons drunk, only to reveal the ruses the next day and to expose the sexual misadventure as a case of mistaken intent with the maids, who threaten legal action for coercion. Nagre relents, accepting the girls’ pleas of love, and the families begin to confront the deception with a certain moral reckoning.
The next phase takes them to a warehouse near Madame Tussauds, where Jamuna previously crafted a wax statue of Teddy. Instead, Batuk’s sons await the group, and their henchmen attack. As Teddy and Bunty fight, Sandy hears a goon and Teddy say “Indian,” triggering Sundy’s return. Batuk arrives and is forced to reckon with the truth, bending to the boys’ demand to divide Nagre’s fortune into seven shares. The situation grows chaotic as Pasta and the maids appear, their influence ballooning to eighteen shares worth 300 crore, much to Batuk’s dismay. Nagre then materializes, having tracked the plot and prepared to neutralize the deception, while the lights flicker in the warehouse.
When the girls finally reach the scene, Rishi, Rohan, and Rajeev seize the sisters at knifepoint in Nagre’s presence. Sandy, Teddy, and Bunty rush to rescue them, paying physical costs along the way. In the end, the sisters forgive their lovers, and Batuk lays bare the entire scheme. The families reconcile with Urja Nagre, the girls’ true father, establishing a path toward an Indian wedding as Sundy stirs back to life, signaling that the story is far from over.
