The trailer begins with Madhavan’s Shrirenu meeting Fatima’s Madhu Bose on a coffee date. Their first impressions go well, and they give their bond some time to see whether the relationship can lead to marriage. However, Shritenu’s family has some objections to Madhu’s lifestyle, given their orthodox background. “Sab kuch allow karenge lekin limit mein (We will allow everything but within limits),” is how Shritenu states his point, to which Madhu asks, “Why should you decide my limit?” They decide to cancel their wedding as more issues arise.

Fan reactions

Reacting to the trailer, a fan commented, “R Madhavan Shrirenu is Manu from Tanu Weds Manu Reborn… He is back with his best character.” A second fan noted, “R Madhavan is so underrated, can never go wrong in a romance with him in the lead.” Another fan said, “Such a good message but people will never understand it… well I’m loving my city’s beauty Kolkata.”

A comment read, “We know what will be the ending but still I gotta admit cinematography looks wonderful.” “Re-igniting old Madhavan and the charm of his romantic movies, can’t wait to see this one,” read a second comment. A comment also read, “I love it when Bollywood does a good rom-com, hope this is one of them.”
