Dimple Shah is an expert at everything. Now that graduation has passed, she is eager to spend some time away from her family and Mamma's strange fixation with her finding the "Ideal Indian Husband." Ahh. But Dimple is aware that they have to honour her values in some way. You would think they wouldn't have paid for her to enrol in a summer programme for aspiring web developers if they really thought she needed a spouse right now.
Rishi Patel is an unrequited lover. He is thus completely on board when his parents inform him that his future wife would be enrolled in the same summer programme, where he will have to court her. As absurd as it may seem to the majority of people in his life, Rishi aspires to be well-organized, values tradition and stability, and longs to be a part of something greater than himself.
Although the Shahs and Patels didn't want to start this "suggested arrangement" from such an early age, they reasoned that because their kids were drawn to the same summer programme, why not?
Rishi and Dimple may believe they understand one other well. However, love makes a great effort to show itself in the most surprising ways when opposites collide.
