Veera’s been in love with her friend Deepak for a long time, so when he suddenly announces his engagement to a gorgeous influencer, she’s crushed and cuts off contact with him. A year later, disaster strikes, and she has no recourse but to call Deepak for help. Having just experienced a very public breakup, Deepak is happy to flee New York to rescue his beloved friend in Goa, India. Despite their estrangement, Veera and Deepak fall easily into their old friendship, and after a night of drinks, they accidentally end up getting married. Deepak convinces Veera to stay married since it’ll help both their career aspirations back home in New York City. But while Veera tries her best to hide her true feelings for him, Deepak begins to genuinely fall for her and sets about to transform their marriage of convenience into something real.
VERDICT In this final installment of the delightful trilogy of retellings, Sharma (Tastes Like Shakkar) features her entertaining mainstay of close friendships, sexy storylines, and boisterous family members set within a tight-knit and elite South Asian community.
