- Geena (Preeya Kalidas) is a young Indian girl, a Bollywood fanatic, from a respectable Gujarati family, living in London. She has finished school and is at university doing a business studies course. Geena has brothers Sanjay and Anil (Ray Panthaki). She is dating Dilip (Ronny Jhutti), an ambitious computer whiz, but wants her love life to be like it is in the movies. However, Dilip only wants sex. Geena's family own Ganesh Global- a clothing company which imports materials and Saris from India. Geena has a part-time job working in the shop. She is also in a secret band with two other girls, Anjali (Kat Bhathena) and Neeta (Karen David). The band has to be a secret as Geena's parents have a problem with it.
Jay (James McAvoy) is a young Scottish boy, who joins his brother Dean (Ciarán McMenamin) in London, who also works in the clothing industry, for Johnny (Andy Beckwith). Johnny runs the clothing factory called Hi-Style in London and provides fake designer labeled suits to retail shops in London. Recently Ganesh Global has also entered this cutthroat business and is able to undercut the London suppliers as their material and labor costs are lower and they are willing to accept a discount on cash payments. Jay owns a guitar, of which he is extremely protective.
One day, when Geena is walking along the road, Jay and his brother happen to be managing some scaffolding poles. One of the poles nearly falls on Geena, but Jay lunges at her and pushes her out of the way before it can crush her. Geena, disgusted at this, hurries along, leaving her phone behind. Jay sees the phone and takes it, but his brother Dean repossesses it. Jay then takes the phone back and gives it to Geena by getting her address from her family's clothes factory. Geena thanks him for saving her life. She then gives him her phone number, and they begin to meet up regularly. Geena is very careful to hide Jay from all her family members.
The two of them are starting to fall in love, meeting up in secret regularly and hiding from Geena's family. Geena says that she cannot leave home as family has done a lot for her and she wants to be a dutiful daughter. Johnny learns from his retail customer that Ganesh Global has undercut them on price and refuses to take delivery of an order. This leads to a huge loss for Johnny.
Geena and Jay share their first kiss inside a dark movie theatre. Geena breaks up with Dilip. One of Geena's brothers sees the two together on a date at a bar, and Geena gets into trouble with her family. Her brother then takes away her phone. Geena's father wants her to make more of an effort to make things work with Dilip. Geena's cousin Sohna invites her girl band to sing at her upcoming wedding, and Geena gladly accepts.
Dean comes to know of the affair and launches an attack on Ganesh Global. Dean enters the warehouse and destroys their finished inventory which was to be delivered to their retail customer. The security guard Deepak at the factory sees Dean and Jay and tries to fight them (during which Dean is injured) before they escape. Deepak informs Sanjay about the attackers. Jay meets Geena and realizes that she is not aware of her brothers using the factory to produce fake designer labels for front end retail shops on the cheap.
Geena's brothers then beat Jay up, leaving him bleeding. Dean is in hospital, and Jay visits him and takes away all his money (1000 pounds). Frank (Ian McShane) is Dean and Jay's father, and he arrives in London hearing about Dean's injury. Jay berates his father for abandoning his family, specifically their mother. Jay and Geena then run away together (in Johnny's van) and escape their family and hide in the countryside. Geena knows that for Jay to be her destiny, she would have to face her fears and square things with her family.
Eventually, Jay and Geena return to London and Jay settles his dispute with his father and brother. Jay introduces Geena to his family. Dean returns Johnny's van to him. Geena then turns up for her relative's wedding, dressed in Indian attire, and sings with her band. She then attempts to reunite with her family, and it is revealed her brother, Sanjay (Amerjit Deu) is a criminal, and is handling illegal suits, and that her brother, Anil is gay with a boyfriend Tariq (Saraj Chaudhry). Geena introduces Jay to her parents, and they thank him for bringing her back. But her father still wants her to marry Dilip, to which Geena refuses. She argues that Sanjay is a criminal and Anil is gay, and yet they get to do what they want. Geena leaves with Jay and her father doesn't stop her.
Jay and Geena then leave in the bride and groom's carriage, and her mother says to her father, "She'll be back."
