About the film:
Band Baaja Baaraat (Wedding Planners) Release Date: 10 December 2010
Shruti (Anushka Sharma) is a 20-something no-nonsense girl from a middle-class Delhi household. Focused and determined with preplanned ambitions, her goals in life are well laid out by the time she reaches her final year of college. Bittoo (Ranveer Singh), on the other hand, has no real aim in life. As a final year college student of Delhi University, he whiles away his life having fun with his buddies, barely scraping through his exams. A chance and inopportune meeting (or as you would call it, fate) brings the two of them together on a tumultuous journey where they become partners in their very own, "Wedding planning ka bijness".
Cast: Ranveer Singh, Anushka Sharma
