What a heart warming movie -- I really like Ayushamann in here. Going to have to do a VICKY DONOR rerun again :)
 

Synopsis: (Contains spoiler)
Set in 1995,[13] Prem Prakash Tiwari (Ayushmann Khurrana) owns a cassette shop in the local market ofHaridwar. His father is keen to get him married to an educated but overweight girl Sandhya (Bhumi Pednekar). In spite of him not liking her, the school drop out Prem must marry her because he is incapable of attaining a girl with 'Juhi-Chawla-level-of-looks.' In an elaborate community-wedding ceremony, Prem and Sandhya get married.
Prem shows his disinterest in the marriage very visibly. While his sister, aunt and mother bicker about his non-existent life, the guy whisks off to the akhara. Friends and seniors poke fun of him and he tells them about his anguish. His trainer suggests that he must run away but that isn't an option for him. Back home Sandhya tries to get him attracted to her. But Prem is too embarrassed to even walk with her in market. Prem and Sandhya's relationship continues to remain strained. Over time, her frustration shows, when Prem's aunt brings up a petty topic, the two have a heated exchange of words and she tells them how he doesn't treat her well.
Amidst all this, a close friend of Prem's gets married. He and Sandhya go for the ceremony where due to his excessive drinking and jealousy over his friend's pretty wife, he tells everyone that sleeping with her feels like hell. Sandhya hears this and slaps him in front of his friends and he slaps her back. The next morning, Sandhya reflects on what she's been through and decides she's had enough and decides to leave her husband. She blames her father-in-law for his lack of respect towards women and not giving his son proper education. Sandhya's mother tries to pacify her that she must return to her husband. But she decides that she can live by herself. Meanwhile, Prem decides to channel his energy into studying and to clear his English paper again; he enrolls for the exam. His friends too give up on him; after a verbal squabble, they throw him out of the group.
On the work front, a competing shop opens up selling music CDs in the same market, clearly affecting their business. Prem's family talks to the shop-owner's family and the discussion ends with the other guy challenging Prem to participate and win the "Dum Lagao" contest. (The contest entails him picking up his wife on his shoulders and running an obstacle course). Meanwhile, Sandhya and Prem reach the court to file divorce. The court decides that the two must spend 6 months with each other and try to work it out. Both decide to live together just as a formality but ice breaks between the two, as they both start understanding each other.
Prem's aunt successfully convinces him to participate in the competition and the couple take a last chance to save their marriage. The D-day arrives and much to the surprise of the society members, Prem and Sandhya join the co-participants. Surprisingly, Prem shoulders the weight of his wife and surges past all other contestants who fall like nine pins. In the last lap, Sandhya confesses to Prem that she doesn't want to go to Meerut and wants Prem to let her stay. Prem knows winning this competition is the only way to do this and pushes himself further to eventually win the race, defeating his friend who owns the CD store.
But Prem does not let Sandhya get off his back even long after the race is over. He takes her back all the way to his house where they seal their love with a kiss and witness their love blossoming for the first time.
