- A woman goes on the hunt for her dream man, armed with her wild imagination, her passion for Masala-films, and her ultra-sensitive sense of smell.
- Wildly imaginative and film-obsessed Meenakshi Deshpande has an extra-sensitive nose. After she is hired to work in a local college's library, she catches a wonderful scent in the air. The source is Surya, a handsome and enigmatic art student from a Tamil family. Meanwhile, Meenakshi's eccentric Marathi family has arranged for her marriage to Madhav, a kind and sensible man. Meenakshi is torn between marrying her parents' choice for a seemingly ideal husband, or following her nose and chasing the hunky stranger who may or may not be all that he seems.—L. Hamre
- The story is about a Marathi girl Meenakshi (Rani Mukerji) falling in love with a Tamil artist Surya (Prithviraj Sukumaran). She is a librarian at a college. She has five members in her family (including her): A wheelchair bound grandmother (Jyoti Subhash) who is blind and has gold teeth, her father who smokes four cigarettes together, her mother (Nirmiti Sawant) who is obsessed with marriage, and her brother Nana (Amey Wagh) whose only love in life is dogs. To add to her misery the government garbage bin is placed right in front of her home. To escape the craziness of her family, Meenakshi lives her life in dreams, and in her dreams the only thing she's doing is dancing and enacting her favorite actresses: Madhuri, Sridevi, Juhi etc.
Due to the garbage heap in front of her house, she has a morbid fascination for anything that smells good. Then there is Maina or "Gaga Bai"(Anita Date), her colleague, an eccentric woman who dresses up in weird ensembles inspired by pop star Lady Gaga. Meenakshi's family are looking for a suitable groom but Meenakshi, who doesn't believe in arranged marriages, is waiting for her prince and wants her dream wedding. That's when Surya (Prithviraj) enters.
Surya is an art student at the college where Meenakshi has an admin job, and the moment Meenakshi looks at him she falls in love with his tanned skin and a mysterious fragrance emanating from him. Meenaskhi learns from her coworkers that Surya is an alcoholic & a druggie. They generally discourage her from having contact with a "Madrasi". Meenakshi doesn't believe that Surya is a druggie, so she seeks out the only drug dealer in the city & waits in hiding for Surya to show up. Surya never shows up to buy drugs.
By this time her family have found the 'right guy' Maadhav (Subodh Bhave) for her, and are rushing with her wedding. The rest of the film involves Madhav running around after Meenakshi, and Meenakshi following Surya. Meenakshi goes to Surya's home & meets his mother & introduces herself as an orphan. The date of her engagement with Maadhav is nearing, but Meenakshi cant think of anything or anyone other than Surya. Maadhav is very nice to Meenakshi & respects her a lot. But Meenakshi simply cant bring herself to have any sort of feelings for Maadhav.
Meanwhile Surya is completely oblivious to Meenakshi's passion & obsession for him. Nana gets engaged to Maina under bizarre circumstances when Meenakshi goes missing on her engagement date when she actually was following Surya and ends up in his fragrance sticks'(Agarbatti) factory. Surya finally opens up to Meenakshi upon finding her in the Agarbatti factory. He says that his mum wants him to manage the factory, but his passion is his art. Thats why he attends college in day, paints in evening & manages the factory at night.
Meenakshi learns that Surya's odor that she got enthralled to was actually because of his involvement in the Agarbatti factory. In the end, Meenakshi eventually succeeds in winning over Surya's heart and they get engaged in a traditional Maharashtrian ceremony.
