Full plot (contains spoilers)
In 2019, three brothers—Harry, Roy, and Max—live in London. After Harry misplaces a bag containing £5 million belonging to gangsters Michael and Big Bhai, the brothers plan to marry the wealthy Thakral sisters: Pooja, Neha, and Kriti. However, they fall in love with the wrong sisters, leading to chaotic wedding preparations in Sitamgarh. In Sitamgarh, a hotel bellboy named Aakhri Pasta recognizes the group as reincarnations from 1419. Through Harry’s visions and Pasta’s revelations, they learn of their past lives. In 1419, Prince Bala of Madhavgarh sought to marry Princess Madhu of Sitamgarh to gain the throne. His allies, dance teacher Bangdu and bodyguard Dharamputra, loved Madhu’s sisters, Mala and Meena. The king’s nephew, Suryabhan, framed the couples for murder and sabotaged their wedding mandap, killing them. In the present, the brothers realize they are set to marry the wrong sisters compared to their past lives. Pasta helps them recall their past, and a painting of their 1419 wedding triggers the sisters’ memories. Pappu Rangeela (Gama’s reincarnation) and Michael (Suryabhan’s reincarnation) disrupt the wedding. Kriti reveals Suryabhan’s past betrayal, and Pappu kills Michael by pushing him into a collapsing mandap, avenging his brother’s death. The film concludes with the correct couples—Harry-Kriti, Roy-Pooja, and Max-Neha—marrying, fulfilling their 600-year love story.
