A romantic story about a hilarious and dramatic summer in the lives of
three strangers in London who inadvertently become best friends and
start living together. Everything seems to be perfect until love comes
to town! It's a contemporary story about the interplay between
friendship and romantic love and how in the truest sense one really
can't exist without the other... so if one did HAVE to make a choice,
what would you choose? Set against the vibrant and luscious backdrop of
London and Cape
Town, this is a comical,
new-age and warm celebration of relationships exploring various choices
that life may offer and the extraordinary choices that ordinary people
make.
When 24-year-old Veronica (Deepika Padukone) and Meera (Diana Penty),
23, start living together during the summer in London, they have very
different agendas. Meera is awkward, introvert and recovering from a
hoax marriage to Kunal Ahuja (Randeep Hooda)
who has duped her off her life-savings by using the pretense of setting
up a base for them in London. She is spending her time under Veronica’s
roof until she can get some footing and find a job in this foreign
land. Veronica, on the other hand, is a wild-child, impulsive,
constantly looking for distractions to escape facing issues of a
troubled upbringing. Being poles apart brings the two close, forging a
loyal and solid friendship.
Soon Gautam, 32, (Saif Ali Khan)
enters their lives, moves in with them and has a whirlwind relationship
with Meera. Meera does love Gautam because his don’t-give-a-damn
attitude reminds her of her husband who had conned her into coming to
London in the first place.
Both Gautam and Veronica believe in living for the moment and they
honestly consider this a fling rather than a serious relationship. But
as three people living together they all have a blast… Though their
intentions for each other don’t change, their friendship starts to grow
strong. It becomes a beautifully balanced friendship between three
people. Soon Gautam realizes that he is in the horns of dilemma since he
has to chose between Meera and Veronica. Unable to decide between the
two, he removes himself from their lives but unlike his intentions, this
sudden emptiness in both Meera and Veronica's life worsens living for
both.
