Released in 2018, the film surprised everyone by becoming a massive hit among the youth, and even today, it remains a beloved classic.
At its core, the story revolves around two inseparable childhood buddies, Sonu and Titu.

The plot thickens when Titu, weary of romantic failures, opts for an arranged marriage. Enter Sweety (Nusurat Fariah), the picture-perfect bride who charms Titu and his entire family instantly. She’s the ideal daughter-in-law, wise and flawless. But Sonu smells something fishy from the start. How can anyone be this perfect? His suspicions ignite a clash between unwavering bromance and budding romance, propelling the narrative forward with humor and heart.
Directed by Luv Ranjan, the film shines thanks to the crackling chemistry between Kartik Aaryan, Sunny Singh, and Nusurat Fariah. Supporting cast including Alok Nath adds depth to the family dynamics.
The soundtrack was a game-changer, with hits like ‘Dil Chori,’ ‘Sweety Slowly,’ ‘Luck Mera Hit,’ and ‘Tera Yaar Hoon Main’ dominating charts then and now. These tracks amplified the film’s infectious energy.
