- Mohit Chadhdha (Ayushmann Khurrana) is a struggling but up and coming professional, climbing the corporate ladder. His girlfriend is the rich and sexy Mayera Sehgal (Sonam Kapoor). Mohit has recently been promoted, buys a new car & sports a gold CC, but Mayera is still slightly ahead of him in the corporate success sweepstakes. Mohit proposes to Mayera and she accepts, but is unable to break the news to her dad V. K. Sehgal (Rishi Kapoor) who is a Govt bureaucrat & in a foul mood due to his transfer to the department of animal husbandry, just 1 month before his retirement.
VK was a honest IAS officer all his life & raised Mayera on his own after the death of wife. He was always regretful that he could not provide material happiness to Mayera during his career and hence wants a rich husband for her. So, he is dead against Mayera marrying a commoner like Mohit. But when Mayera insists, VK agrees to put Mohit on probation for a series of tests to determine Mohit's compatibility with Mayera.
Mayera gets an offer for a plum job in Dubai, while Mohit's airline company goes bust. VK wants to break off the wedding since Mohit has lost his job. Mayera lies to VK by telling him that Mohit's job is safe. Mohit and Mayera work hard to find a new job for Mohit but are not successful. Mohit goes bankrupt & must borrow money from Mayera to pay off his CC bills, car EMI and to keep up the charade in front of VK.
Mohit starts getting desperate for a job & the lack of money starts creating tension between Mohit and Mayera. Meanwhile Mohit convinces VK that he still has a lot of potential left and that he should look for a job. VK buys a laptop, creates a resume & sends out job applications. He gets hooked to video games as well.
Money troubles between Mohit and Mayera lead to more intense arguments when Mayera is unable to support her lavish lifestyle to support Mohit's existence. Mohit sells his car to settle the dues with Mayera. She is hurt & calls off the wedding & breaks up with Mohit.
The same day VK gets a job offer & is very impressed with Mohit. He goes and buys engagement rings for Mohit & Mayera & invites them both to dinner. AT dinner the fact comes out in front of VK that Mohit is unemployed. VK is angry that Mohit lied to him & kicks him out of his house. Mayera accepts a transfer to Dubai. Mohit gets a job as a manager in a coffee shop. Both Mayera and Mohit are distraught and miss each other.
Then VK realizes that Mohit is a man of character because Mohit kept on helping VK find a job even when things were shaky with Mayera. Mohit never once let his issues with Mayera come in between his commitment to VK to help him find a job.
Mayera comes back to India to get VK to accompany her to Dubai. VK arranges for his & Mayera's visa to Dubai to be canceled. He then traces down Mohit & visits him at his coffee shop. He insults Mohit & tells him that Mayera is flying off to Dubai & would never be associated with a waiter. Mohit reaches Mayera's house & challenges VK. VK again insults the love of both Mohit & Mayera. This ignites the passion for them & they both defend each other in front of VK. They both realize that they love to each other & patch up & live happily ever after.
