Lagna Pahave Karun 2013

In a tale of love and self-discovery, Nishant Barve, Umesh Kamat, a software designer from India living in America, returns to his homeland after losing his job during a visit. He plans to inform his fiancée Madhura Godbole about the setback, but a chance confrontation changes everything when he bumps into Aditi Tilak, a driven entrepreneur dreaming up a new kind of matrimonial service. Mukta Barve brings to life a woman who believes in reshaping how people find companionship, steering away from traditional horoscope-based matchmaking.

As Nishant gets drawn into Aditi’s bold vision, he decides to abandon a scheduled job interview in the United States to help her pursue the venture. Into their plans step Praful Patel and his girlfriend, who offer support, lending momentum to their collaboration. Together, Nishant, Aditi, and their new partners brainstorm innovative ways to connect people who are seeking love, emphasizing connection and compatibility over celestial charts. The result is the birth of the matrimonial agency Shubhvivaah, a fresh approach that challenges long-standing norms and captures the interest of many hopeful singles.

With the agency gaining traction, two hopefuls, Rahul Kulkarni and Aanandi, take the plunge and decide to marry through Shubhvivaah. Siddharth Chandekar embodies Rahul, a man eager to commit, while Tejashri Pradhan portrays Aanandi, whose perspective on marriage is shaped by her own firm beliefs. The unusual method behind Shubhvivaah resonates with a growing crowd of clients who crave a more modern path to partnership. Yet on Rahul and Aanandi’s wedding day, Nalini Dixit, a renowned astrologer and the owner of a successful Pune-based marriage bureau, delivers a stark warning: their horoscopes don’t align, and their union could last no longer than six months. Despite this ominous forecast, Nishant and Aditi stand by their conviction, even as they quietly nurture feelings for one another.

Nishant gathers the courage to propose to Aditi, offering to put his promising career and a comfortable life in America on the line for her—and for their evolving project. Aditi acknowledges the depth of Nishant’s love but admits she hasn’t fully pictured their future together. Meanwhile, Rahul and Aanandi encounter strains in their marriage due to Aanandi’s rigidity. Nishant and Aditi do their best to help Rahul find happiness with Aanandi, but their efforts hit roadblocks. A turning point comes when Rahul and Aanandi have a heated argument, which leads to a serious accident involving Rahul.

Guilt over the failing marriage weighs heavily on Aditi, prompting her to shut down her matrimonial venture. Nishant reacts with disappointment and, feeling overwhelmed, decides to return to America. Yet a moment of growth arrives when Aanandi recognizes her mistakes and reconciles with Rahul, signaling a shift in the couple’s dynamic. In a poignant revelation, Nishant discovers the painful chapters of Aditi’s past—losing both her parents and enduring the loss of two prospective grooms. These traumas leave her scarred and living with persistent fear, afraid to accept Nishant’s marriage proposal out of concern for his well-being.

Seeing the depth of Aditi’s emotional wounds, Nishant urges her to release the weight of the past and consider a future that includes marriage—whether with him or someone else—so she can find genuine happiness. The story culminates in a genuine, hopeful embrace between Nishant and Aditi, symbolizing Aditi’s acceptance of his proposal and the start of a new journey together, grounded in trust, resilience, and a shared belief in love’s possibilities.
