Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari

In the 1990s, a wedding detective named Madhu Mangal Rane (Manoj Bajpayee) is tasked with performing background checks on prospective grooms. One of his clients, Suraj Singh Dhillon (Diljit Dosanjh), is a rich young man who is desperate to get married, but his raw mannerisms make it difficult for him to impress any girl proposed to his family for an arranged marriage. When Suraj and his family meet the next prospective bride, her family shows them the photographs of his bad-boy drive and rejects his proposal. Gurnam (Manoj Pahwa), Suraj's father, feels disgraced and leaves the house. Suraj then decides to avenge the humiliation of his family and goes after Madhu. Madhu belongs to a middle-class family and lives with his younger sister Tulshi (Fatima Sana Shaikh) and his mother Rekha (Supriya Pilgaonkar) in a chawl. Tulshi is considered the epitome of traditional girls with good moral values as per contemporary standards by one and all. Suraj and his friend Sukhi first do a recce of Madhu's office in disguise and then, late at night, raid his office. Tulshi, who has just returned from her late-night tuitions, sees intruders in his office and enters to check out what is happening. Sukhi immediately runs away, but Suraj's coat gets stuck in the door. Their eyes meet for the first time, and Suraj is immediately struck by her beauty. When her family and neighbors gather at the office, Madhu correctly suspects that Suraj has been there when he sees his photo and file missing from the office. To avenge this nightly raid, Madhu mixes water in Suraj's milk cans the next day. Later, Suraj gets hold of a family photo featuring Madhu, which they had earlier stolen from his office, and learns that Tulshi is Madhu's sister. He chases her and they meet at a cosmetics store, where they have a casual chat. Suraj had damaged her moped earlier, and he tells her that he would get it repaired. On this pretext, he drops her home and obtains her phone number. The next day, he takes her on a date on the pretext of handing over her moped back. Tulshi also starts warming up to his romantic advances. As their relation becomes stronger, Tulshi decides to reveal her profession to Suraj. She leads him and Sukhi to tuition class where she is supposed to teach, but exits from another door to a discotheque. Later, they see her on stage in a fully modern avatar, completely contrary to her traditional personality, as a DJ. Suraj and Sukhi both enjoy her music, and Sukhi sees an opportunity for Suraj to get even with Madhu. The next day, the first suitor calls Madhu to reject his proposal after seeing Tulshi's DJ avatar in the newspaper. Madhu is thoroughly shocked and cannot come to terms with the fact that he was completely unaware of his sister's profession, which is considered unacceptable in contemporary society. He prohibits Tulshi from pursuing her DJ activity, and she is deeply hurt by this. Suraj, with persistent efforts, is able to win back her trust. On the other side, Madhu comes to terms with his defeat and plans another act to get revenge. He meets Suraj's parents and proposes Tulshi's marriage with Suraj, which everyone agrees to, despite Tulshi and Suraj doubting this sudden change of heart. On the day of their engagement, Madhu tricks Gurnam into talking about dowry, which he records, and has the Dhillons arrested for dowry. Tulshi is heartbroken yet again as she cannot approve of Suraj asking for dowry and resigns her fate to Madhu, who arranges her meeting with the second suitor he had spoken earlier, and their marriage is fixed in haste. After seeking bail, Suraj discovers that Madhu is in a romantic relation with a woman, Kavya (Neha Pendse), who is married to a OCD-esque maths professor Chinmay Godbole (Vijay Raaz). Seeking revenge, Suraj produces evidence of adultery to Chinmay and asks him to press charges of adultery on Madhu, which he refuses because he hates the courts where nothing is in order. Suraj realizes Kavya's plight and then tortures Chinmay by putting everything in sight out of order, forcing him to sign the divorce papers. On the day of Tulshi's marriage, Kavya rushes to Madhu and tells him that Suraj made her husband sign the divorce papers. Madhu, who was unsure of the match from the beginning, realizes mistake and apologies
