Daksh, however, is supposed to marry Anahita Madhwan in order to inherit a million-dollar trust.

For help, Daksh turns to his butler, John Uncle. John Uncle wants Daksh to end up marrying Jiya. However, John becomes very ill and gets admitted to a hospital. The engagement party for Daksh and Anahita is taking place, and John Uncle manages to convince Jiya to go to the party.

Reception

[2] In a retrospective review in 2020, Rishita Roy Chowdhary of India Today wrote that "Tumsa Nahin Dekha is not an unusual film. But we believe it makes a bold move, if not take a giant leap in terms of modern storytelling". [4]
