Plot
Siddharth Bose aka Sid is a short, thirtyish DJ, who finds himself playing music at Trisha Mallik's marriage to Vivek Chaddha in Delhi. However, he witnesses her fight her sense of responsibility and duty towards her parents and the groom, and runs away.
Six months later, he meets her again at a DJ competition in Mumbai, which he has just lost, yet again. Before you know it, they're in a relationship, and three years have passed. Trisha thinks she is ready for marriage, and gets down on her knee to propose to Sid. Sid suffering from the typical commitment phobia, is at a loss for a reasonable answer. In a bid to not lose her, Sid finds himself engaged.
But along with the engagement comes a new set of problems: shopping for furniture for their home, engagement rings, and more importantly, facing her father, Retired Major Veera Bhadra Mallik. Mallik has more than one problem with Sid, and thinks low of him, due to him earning a lot less than Trisha and not being responsible enough. Over an altercation Sid has with Mallik, the couple break up. Meanwhile, Vivek Chaddha is waiting in the wings, to help mend her broken heart. Sid on the other hand, finds himself being wooed by item girl, Tanya, the star of the 'Baby Girl Vol. 3' video.
After a few amusing run-ins, and an attempt to be just friends, Sid, finally realizes, thanks to his mother, that his commitment phobia is the result of a childhood scar. His father abandoned Sid and his mother, when Sid was very young. His mother reassures him, that he is nothing like his father, and would make a great husband. But it is too late, as Trisha has already agreed to marry Vivek. This leads him to Trisha's dear friend, Anjali, who reminds him of Dracula, because she always attacks him, for making Trisha unhappy. She helps him crash Trisha's wedding party. Trisha, after coming to know how much Sid has changed, happily breaks the wedding, and reunites with him.
