In the city of Amritsar, India, Mme. Bakshi (Nadira Babbar) struggles to find good matches for his four beautiful daughters. But everything goes down the drain when Lalita (Aishwarya Rai), the second eldest, decides to choose her fiancé. From her meeting with American tycoon William Darcy (Martin Henderson), a love-hate relationship emerges. Lalita is furious at William's prejudice and lack of respect for India, while he is exasperated by the girl's complaints, who considers him a spoiled American. In the midst of so much friction, an irresistible attraction is born.
