Set in the rustic surroundings of a village in

(Pankaj Kapur), a wealthy industrialist who loves his drink, his daughter
Bijlee (Anushka Sharma) and the unusual bond they both share with Harry’s man
friday, Matru (Imran Khan). Much to her father's delight, Bijlee is all set to
marry Baadal (Arya Babbar), the son of a powerful politician Chaudhari Devi

had been lured by the money Viacom 18 Motion Pictures offered him for Ashwini
