Mubarakan (2017) Timeline Explained – Every Event in Order

After their parents died in the tragic car accident, their uncle Kartar Singh made the difficult decision to separate the twins. One twin was sent to live with Kartar's sister Jeeto in London, while the other was entrusted to his brother Baldev Singh in Punjab. This separation was meant to give each child a stable home, though it led to vastly different upbringings.

When Karan learned that his aunt Jeeto wanted him to marry Binkle, he came up with a scheme to avoid the arranged marriage himself. While in Punjab, he cleverly convinced Baldev Singh to propose Charan for Binkle instead. Karan was enjoying his carefree bachelor life in London and did not want to commit to marriage at that time.

Kartar Singh devised a plan to help Charan get out of the proposed marriage with Binkle. He suggested Charan pretend to be a substance abuser so that Binkle's family would reject the alliance. The plan was meant to protect Charan from a marriage he initially did not want, but it backfired spectacularly when the lie caused chaos and misunderstandings.

Despite pretending to be a substance abuser to avoid the marriage, Charan found himself genuinely falling for Binkle during the chaos. Her sweetness and kindness contrasted sharply with the lie he was perpetuating, and ironically, the more time he spent with her, the more his feelings became real. He eventually confessed his true love for her.

Foreshadowing: Earlier in the film, Charan initially wanted to avoid marriage entirely, but his interactions with Binkle gradually changed his heart.

On the day of their respective weddings, both brothers were facing complications. Karan was set to marry Binkle while Charan was set to marry Sweety, but neither relationship was straightforward due to the earlier deceptions and misunderstandings. In a moment of panic and confusion, they decided to swap identities to navigate the chaotic wedding situation, leading to further comedic misunderstandings.

After the twins revealed their switched identities to Kartar during the wedding chaos, he realized the situation had become unmanageable. Kartar decided the only solution was for both brothers to stop pretending and embrace their true identities. This meant Karan should marry Sweety and Charan should marry Binkle, accepting their genuine feelings rather than continuing the deception.

Foreshadowing: Kartar had a dream about the twins' late father urging him to fix the chaos he helped create.

Charan was in love with Nafisa, a Muslim law student from Punjab, but his father Baldev Singh insisted on an arranged marriage with a Punjabi girl instead. The cultural and religious differences created a barrier that Charan was unable to overcome due to family pressure. This unfulfilled romance added to Charan's emotional turmoil before he met Binkle.

Kartar Singh separated the twins and sent them to different countries - one to London with his sister Jeeto and one to Punjab with his brother Baldev - to ensure they would each have a stable upbringing. Given that Kartar himself was a bachelor who enjoyed his independent lifestyle, he felt the children would be better cared for by family members in different locations.
