Plot Summary
- Happy (Diana Penty) is supposed to marry Daman Singh Bagga (Jimmy Shergill), a small-time merchant. But, on the eve of her wedding, she tries to elope with her boyfriend, Guddu (Gurdeep) (Ali Fazal), a musician. However, during her escape stunt, she inadvertently finds herself in a truck which is scheduled to arrive in Lahore, to Bilal's (Abhay Deol) place (Bilal was in Amritsar for an international conference, and had hired a truck to take back his shopping from India back to Pakistan). Happy informs Bilal, an upcoming Pakistani politician, that she wants to call Guddu. Bilal refuses to help her & only wants to deport her back to India. At Amritsar (home town of Happy) Guddu is abducted by Bagga to make sure that Happy would have to ultimately return to him. Happy creates a ruckus when she escapes Bilal's house & gets into Lahore town & is caught by police officer who informs Bilal. Bilal intends to deport her immediately. Happy fears that she would be handed over to her father, who would forcefully marry her off to Bagga. She threatens Bilal that she would ruin his family name by announcing to media that she is been smuggled from India as a part of human trafficking racket.Bilal is confused & is confronted by his fiance Zoya (Momal Sheikh) about the presence of Happy in his house. Initially Zoya feels that Bilal is cheating her, but then assumes for a while that Happy is telling the truth & co-operates with both. Zoya suggests that only way to get rid of Happy is to get Guddu over here, marry them & deport them back. Till then Happy is to stay at Bilal's residence.

As Guddu reaches Lahore, Bilal's father is back since his meetings got canceled. As if this was not enough, Happy is abducted by goons who are friends of Bagga. Bagga gets Happy's father (Kanwaljit Singh) along with him to Lahore (Bagga knows that Happy will only be handed over by Pakistani authorities to a family relative, so taking her father along is crucial.
