patel ki punjabi shaadi (2017)The film starts off with the introduction of the hard-core Gujarati family of Hasmukh Patel (Paresh Rawal), which consists of his mother, two daughters Jinal Belani and Payal Ghosh (who plays the role of Pooja Patel). Just as when the whole focus of the Patel family is set on their elder daughter getting married, there enters the fun loving and ever-enthusiastic hard-core Punjabi family of Guggi Tandon (Rishi Kapoor) as their immediate neighbours. On the occasion of the Hasmukh Patel’s eldest daughter’s engagement, an idea suggested by the Tandons goes terribly wrong and results in the engagement being called off. This sows the seeds of hatred in the mind of Hasmukh Patel towards the Punjabis. On the other hand, without the knowledge of Hasmukh Patel, love blooms between his second daughter Pooja Patel and Guggi Tandon’s only son Monty Tondon (Vir Das).
Knowing that they were the root cause of Hasmukh Patel’s daughter’s engagement being called off, the Tandon family goes all out to mend the broken engagement. Do the Tandons succeed in their efforts, are the Tandons the only reason why Hasmukh Patel hates the Punjabis or is there more than what meets the eye, what happens to the love story between Monty and Pooja and do the Tandons and Patels ever come together as one is what forms the rest of the film.
