Plot

Laddoo (Vivaan Shah) is a middle-class, ambitious young man from Lalitpur who dreams of becoming a successful entrepreneur like the Tatas and Birlas of India. After convincing his father, he moves to Vadodara, where he starts working as a waiter in his father's friend's cafe.

One day, he bumps into Laali (Akshara Haasan) at the cafe and immediately falls for her charm. Laali is a regular customer at Kabir's Cafe. Soon, they fall in love and become intimate. Laali discovers that she is pregnant with Laddoo's child and wants to keep the baby. However, Laddoo, intent upon chasing his dreams first, asks her to terminate the pregnancy. A desperate Laali approached Laddoo's parents, who are visiting him, and came clean to them about their situation. Laddoo's father is enraged and declares that a wedding must take place between the couple in the next 2 days. Laddoo argues and things escalate when Laddoo tells his parents that they are free to leave his house if they can't see his point of view. Laddoo's father renounces his relationship with his son and decides to informally adopt Laali and take responsibility for settling her and her unborn child.

As time passes, Laddoo's parents actively seek a suitable groom for a pregnant Laali. They are approached by a wealthy royal family from Rampur looking for a bride for their Prince Veer. Veer is a kind and open-minded man who agrees to accept Laali and her unborn child. Wedding preparations begin in full swing as Veer and Laali start to bond.

Critical reception

Nihit Bhave of The Times of India gave the film a rating of 1.5 out of 5 and said that, "Akshara and Vivaan deliver embarrassingly over-the-top performances. The film is structured so that you connect all the dots within half an hour and are then left with a whole lot nothing to look forward to."{{cite news |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/movie-reviews/laali-ki-shaadi-mein-laddoo-deewana/movie-review/58049209.cms |title=Laali Ki Shaadi Mein Laddoo Deewana Movie Review |work=The Times of India}} Sreehari Nair of Rediff gave the film a rating of 1.5 out of 5 and said that, "Laali Ki Shaadi Mein Laaddoo Deewana is insipid, terribly made, and yet a Warm Enterprise".{{cite web |url=http://www.rediff.com/movies/review/review-laali-ki-shaadi-mein-laaddoo-deewana-is-naive/20170407.htm |title=Review: Laali Ki Shaadi Mein Laaddoo Deewana is naive |publisher=Rediff}} Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV gave the film a rating of 1.5 out of 5 saying that, "Akshara Haasan's film is a tedious rom-com that fails to shrug off its loopy quality despite a few entertaining performances".{{cite web |url=http://movies.ndtv.com/movie-reviews/laali-ki-shaadi-mein-laddoo-deewana-movie-review-akshara-haasans-film-overstays-its-welcome-3050 |title=Laali Ki Shaadi Mein Laddoo Deewana Movie Review: Akshara Haasan's Film Overstays Its Welcome |publisher=NDTV}} Mohar Basu of Mid-Day gave the film a rating of 1 out of 5 and said that, "Director Manish Ravishankar wanted to give us a Rajshri-styled dramedy with a Kya Kehna twist. But it's boring, unfunny and utterly ridiculous. If you survive the first hour, you might just get a gallantry award."{{cite web |url=https://www.mid-day.com/articles/laali-ki-shaadi-mein-laddoo-deewana-movie-review-akshara-haasan-vivaan-shah-bollywood-news/18151168 |title='Laali Ki Shaadi Mein Laddoo Deewana' – Movie Review |date=10 April 2017 |publisher=Mid-Day}}
