Plot
The film revolves around two young unnamed characters; a girl (Mukta Barve) from Mumbai and a boy (Swapnil Joshi) from Pune. Ms. Mumbai is shown to be travelling all alone to Pune dressed in a long red skirt and a white top to meet a prospective groom (who is referred to as Hridaymardam after the name of his residential colony and whom she has already decided to reject). After passing from one junction to other searching for the address, Ms. Mumbai finally lands at the destination point where a group of friends is playing cricket, and selects none other than Mr. Pune, the batsman dressed in Bermuda shorts, an overcoat and sports shoes, to know the exact location of the house, causing his concentration to lapse and he gets clean bowled by the bowler. Despite this, Mr. Pune directs Ms. Mumbai to the location in the typical Puneite manner, which she has a bit trouble understanding due to it being the same language spoken differently in two major cities of Maharashtra. After reaching the location, Ms. Mumbai is surprised to find the door locked, and checks the neighboring houses to get Hridaymardam's whereabouts, but is turned away rudely by his neighbors. Ms. Mumbai is unable to contact Hridaymardam for her mobile phone having run out of battery, so she contacts her sister in Mumbai via public telephone to inform her about the non-availability of Hridaymardam.
At this point, Ms. Mumbai meets Mr. Pune for the second time. They argue but bond over each other's attachment for their native cities. Ms. Mumbai tells her experience at Hridaymardam's residence, remarking about the neighboring woman's behavior, "We should learn how to insult someone from the people in Pune.", causing Mr. Pune to go defensive about his city, stating "This is the busy time for women who work in the house, at least in our Pune, so it is natural to insult someone who appears on your door at a time like this." Ms. Mumbai then asks Mr. Pune directions to the nearest coffee shop, and he instead takes her for a ride on his scooter, which she agrees to so she can avoid the hassle of searching for Hridaymardam and missing him again.
The two continue to debate about their respective hometowns and constantly try to boast about their own city. Ms. Mumbai also tells Mr. Pune that she has come to meet Hridaymardam only on the insistence of her mother and that she herself does not trust this "marriage institution", revealing that Mr. Pune and Ms. Mumbai both have different opinions on the subject of marriage. At the end of their conversation, Ms. Mumbai bluntly states that she would only pay for her own coffee. A shocked Mr. Pune reveals that he has no money and requests Ms. Mumbai to pay for his coffee too for the moment, and that he will pay it back later via ATM card. She asks him whether he has any money in his bank account, and Mr. Pune answers offended that he does and offers her to keep his expensive watch as mortgage until he repays her money back. After withdrawing and repaying her money from a nearby ATM, Mr. Pune sarcastically tells Ms. Mumbai that she is very good at keeping bookkeeping and that she must be a chartered accountant the way she handled the situation. Ms. Mumbai answers that she is a successful fashion designer, which provides Mr. Pune with an excuse to continue the conversation by asking her what her opinion about the fashion of Pune is. Ms. Mumbai states that Pune is not mature or hip when it comes to fashion. Mr. Pune argues over this and show her few of his rings and accessories, stating that those particular items have originated in Pune.
Ms. Mumbai is exasperated by Mr. Pune being a constant chatter, but they nevertheless share a curious chemistry. Between bouts of incessant but playful culture-bashing, Ms. Mumbai tells Mr. Pune that now she will meet Hridaymardam at her own leisure since he has made her wait for him. The two together visit famous landmarks in Pune like the garden-temple of Sarasbaug, the crowded market of Tulshibaug, the ancient Sinhagad Fort and the grand Shri Dagadusheth Halwai Ganapati Temple. They are shown to begin understanding each other, sharing intimate details about their respective love lives and cultural upbringing. Mr. Pune opens up about his Japanese ex-girlfriend, and Ms. Mumbai sharing about her own ex-boyfriend back in Mumbai). Through all of this, Mr. Pune never leaves Ms. Mumbai's company, and vice versa, despite many scenarios where they both could have gone their separate ways. At one point, Ms. Mumbai tries to contact Hridaymardam from Mr. Pune's mobile phone, but the phone number is shown to be engaged. Thinking nothing of it, Ms. Mumbai spends the rest of the day with Mr. Pune, deciding to return to Mumbai without meeting Hridaymardam.
Finally, Mr. Pune drops Ms. Mumbai off back at the Pune Junction Railway Station where she hands over a written letter to him, which explains her reasons for not wishing to marry Hridaymardam. She asks Mr. Pune to deliver it to him. They both bid their farewells and for the first time ask each other their names. As Mr. Pune identifies himself as just "Pune", Ms. Mumbai befittingly replies "Mumbai". They take each other's leave, but not before Mr. Pune asks Ms. Mumbai to return his mobile phone which she had kept earlier. When she asks for his phone number, Mr. Pune replies "I will give you my number, then you will write it down on your palm, then it will get erased off somewhere! We are never going to meet ever again as it is, so let us just remember this day in our memories!", and refuses to give his number. As Mr. Pune exits the railway station, Ms. Mumbai, at last, receives a phone call on her mobile phone from Hridaymardam, who asks her to meet her outside the railway station before her train leaves. She agrees and walks out to find Mr. Pune struggling to start his scooter, with no sign of Hridaymardam around. When Ms. Mumbai explains why she is outside instead of waiting for her train, Mr. Pune expresses surprise and teases her over her eagerness to meet Hridaymardam despite her earlier refusals for marriage, and says that he is sure she has changed her mind about him, making her blush.
However, as Hridaymardam does not show up, Ms. Mumbai asks Mr. Pune for his mobile phone to contact him again, and he tells her to search the second entry below her own phone number in the outgoing call list. Ms. Mumbai dials and receives a busy signal again and decides to leave, already having left the explanation letter in Mr. Pune's possession. However, in a split second of realization, she turns back and asks him how he had her number in his outgoing call list if she never ever gave it to him in the first place, to which he replies "That is not important. What you should think about is how can a number be dialed from the same number?". Ms. Mumbai dismisses this and begins to walk away, but Mr. Pune stops her again and tells her "You dialed it, not once but twice! This same number from this same number!". This reveals that Mr. Pune himself is, in fact, Hridaymardam, the one whom she had originally come to meet, and ended up unknowingly spending the entire day with. As Ms. Mumbai digests this new information, Mr. Pune explains to her how she approached him in the morning, and asked him directions to his own address, and how he decided to complicitly play along to get to know her. He then confesses his love for her, and asks her if she will marry him. She answers that she will let him know her decision after she talks this over with her mother (though her blushes and coy behavior indicate the answer is "yes"), and runs away to the railway platform for her train. The film ends with Ms. Mumbai running to board her moving train and Mr. Pune chasing after her to ensure she boards safely as the credits roll.
