Plot[edit]
Rohan "Mickey" Arora is the son of Ramesh Arora, a rich Punjabi business magnate, and lives with his family in Delhi. He along with his best friend, Manu Dabbas, secretly work as break-up consultants, helping people break-up with their respective partners. Mickey and Manu travel to Spain for Manu's bachelor party. They are accompanied by Manu's fiancèe, Kinchi, along with her best friend, Nisha "Tinni" Malhotra. Mickey and Tinni hook up and eventually fall in love with each other. Upon returning, Manu and Kinchi get married, while Mickey and Tinni introduce each other to their respective families. Both the families accept their relationship and start preparations for their wedding. However, Tinni feels she is not ready for the marriage and decides to breakup with Mickey. Tinni contacts the break-up consultant on phone, not knowing that it is in fact Mickey, and asks for help in breaking up with him. Unaware that he is speaking with Tinni, Mickey agrees to help.
Mickey suggests that Tinni and her partner match each other's horoscopes, and if they do not align, then the marriage can be called off. However, their horoscopes align perfectly, and the plan fails. Mickey soon finds out that the client is none other than Tinni and is heartbroken as she did not discuss her concerns with him and try to sort out the misunderstandings. He decides to play along and beat Tinni at her own game. He suggests Tinni to do a "jealousy test", which can lead to their breakup. Tinni hires a guy to act as an old friend of hers and dances seductively with him in front of Mickey. But Mickey pretends to not notice and remains unaffected. Next, Mickey suggests to do a "loyalty test" and Tinni hires a girl to seduce Mickey and if he cheats on her, then she could easily breakup with him. But Mickey does not give in and acts as a loyal partner, failing this plan as well.
Posing as the break-up consultant on phone, Mickey asks Tinni the reason for breaking up with him. Tinni reveals that she does not want to live with his family after the marriage and wants to live independently, so that they can have their own personal space. Knowing that Mickey loves his family dearly and not wanting to make him choose between her and his family, she wants to breakup with him. Mickey does not want to leave his family for her, and decides to go ahead with breaking off the marriage. He suggests to Tinni to say that she has received a job offer in Bengaluru and that she would permanently move there after the marriage. Going by the plan, she tells this to Mickey and he angrily lashes out at her, saying that she should have discussed it with him beforehand, as this is not acceptable to him. Their marriage is broken off and they part ways.
Sometime later, they meet again at Kinchi's baby shower. Tinni's foot is injured while dancing at the function and Mickey along with his family care for her, which makes her realize the value of living together as a family. Mickey's niece Chhoti, while talking to Tinni, blurts out a unique phrase that she heard from Mickey that causes Tinni to realize that the breakup consultant was in fact Mickey. She confronts him about it and says that she is disappointed as even after knowing the truth, he did not try to sort out the matter with her and that she still loves him. She says that she would be permanently leaving for London and heads to the airport. Mickey's family advises him to not let her go by compromising his love for them.
