Bitti rejects the “perfect bride” stereotype. Her happy ending is not marriage itself but being chosen for who she really is. The film subtly critiques slut-shaming and patriarchal expectations.
However, Chirag has a secret: the novel was actually written by a shy, simple printing press owner, (Rajkummar Rao), whom Chirag has been exploiting.
