Plot

The film is a satire on the institute of marriage in the current changing world of values. Satyaprakash Joshi (Lalit Prabhakar), also known as Satya, is an engineer who manufactures products related to solar energy and lives with his parents (Supriya Pathare and Pradeep Joshi) and his widowed grandmother (Jyoti Subhash). Savitri Kulkarni (Mrinmayee Godbole), also known as Saavi, is a vegan who works as a veterinarian at an animal shelter and lives with her parents (Purnima Talwalkar and Sunil Abhyankar), her pregnant sister, Ragini (Sharmistha Raut), and her younger brother, Tillya (Pushkar Lonarkar). Both of them are satisfied in their fields and have won the youth icon award for their work. They are introduced to each other as prospective marriage partners by their parents, having met earlier at the register marriage of common friends. During the meeting, Saavi puts forth a condition that she wants to stay with Satya at his house for two months in order to test their compatibility and future. Initially, everyone except Satya is against this, whereas Satya believes it will be a good experiment. When they both explain how arranged marriage couples usually do not get along well and may end up in divorce, eventually everyone agrees.

Saavi has two conditions: Firstly, their relationship will be completely platonic, and secondly, Satya will have to give up non-veg food. Satya agrees and hence Saavi moves to his house. Over the next two months, Satya and Saavi get to know each other, their professions and their interests. Satya helps in raising funds for Saavi's animal shelter, while Saavi helps Satya in accquiring important work-related documents and even encourages his grandmother to get remarried with her long-time friend, Haribhau Bhudargadkar (Satish Alekar), and the two soon start falling in love. Despite this, in the success party of Satya's project where he plans to propose to Saavi, she notices non-veg food being cooked inside and gets furious with Satya. Satya is also upset at the fact that she does not want to adjust at all, and tells her that he changed his daily habits only because of Saavi's request, but he cannot force others to give up non-vegetarian food and accept a vegan lifestyle like he did. As a result, both of them get into a heated argument and part ways disheartened. However, as fate would have it, Satya and Saavi meet again at the Youth Icon award ceremony and confess their feelings comically at a press interview, where Satya gifts Saavi an adopted puppy named Galileo. The film ends with Satya and Saavi getting married.
