Plot outline

The movie revolves around three childhood friends, Saif (Hamza Ali Abbasi), Sheikh (Vasay Chaudhry) and Pervez (Ahmad Ali Butt), who are married and settled in their lives but are afraid of their wives. Their friend Sherry (Humayun Saeed), a divorce lawyer, returns to Pakistan from US to meet them, only to discover that their lives are literally miserable because of their wives. Hence, he decides to take his friends to a boys trip to Bangkok to add some spice and excitement to their life.

In Bangkok Sherry meets a girl, Marina (Mehwish Hayat), daughter of a syndicate Bichchhi Don (Ismail Tara), who falls in love with him. When Sherry learns about her father and the syndicate he decides to cut short their trip and run away from Marina. Furthermore, on the 11th hour, their secret is out when the trio of wives show up in Bangkok and raid the hotel they’re staying at. Sherry puts the blame on his friends by telling their wives that the trip was their idea and not his. This results in their wives asking them for a divorce as they had lost all trust in their husbands. After a few months, the three friends come across the news that Sherry is getting married to Zoya (Sohai Ali Abro), billionaire Mehboob Khan’s (Javed Sheikh) daughter in Lahore. Zoya the quintessential nouveau riche kid, who insists on speaking in highly accented English and abbreviated expressions like OMG (oh my God) enjoys spending her father's money carelessly without any hesitation while her mother (Bushra Ansari) is constantly worried about her attitude. The plot takes a very interesting turn when the three friends arrive at Sherry's wedding.
