Babli Tanwar (Tamannaah Bhatia) is an uneducated young girl from Asola Fatepur, a small village near Delhi where most people are bouncers. Despite being at her marriageable age, Babli still hasn't finished her 10th grade education, and her teacher (nicknamed "Drum") is therefore very upset with her and looks down upon to her.

At the wedding of a local couple, Babli meets Drum's son Viraj Kaushik (Abhishek Bajaj), who just came back from London after five years of study. Babli develops a crush for him, and tries to get close to him. As Viraj lives in Delhi, Babli is planning to go to Delhi to see him. At the same time, Babli starts to receiving marriage proposals.
