The film is set in 1995 in the small, fog-filled lanes of Haridwar. Prem Prakash Tiwari (Ayushmann Khurrana) is a shy, undereducated man-child who runs his father's audio-video cassette shop. He is a devoted Kumar Sanu fan, content with his simple life and terrified of the English language. Sandhya (Bhumi Pednekar), on the other hand, is a confident, qualified woman who dreams of becoming a teacher and finding a loving husband.
The story revolves around Prem Prakash Tiwari (Ayushmann Khurrana), a school dropout who runs a cassette shop, and Sandhya Verma (Bhumi Pednekar), an educated, ambitious, and plus-sized woman. Forced into an arranged marriage by their families, Prem harbors deep resentment due to Sandhya’s physical appearance. The narrative follows their turbulent relationship as they navigate societal expectations, personal insecurities, and eventually, mutual respect during a local community race called "Dum Laga Ke Haisha" (where husbands carry their wives on their backs).
