Dark clouds loom large over Mira Nair's film as a boisterous Punjabi family readies itself for a grand Delhi wedding. There are tricks galore as the bride (Vasundhara Das) is still in love with her ex lover. And an unspeakable secret that the bride’s cousin (Shefali Shah) has squashed for several years finally comes out and threatens to disrupt the proceedings.

But the family shows courage to stand up for its own, and the rains pour down like a cosmic blessing.
