Here, Kartika is shown to be extremely practical who hasn’t even kept in touch with him all this while. The film alludes to classical love stories like Sohni-Mahiwal but there two people were very much in love. He embarks on an odyssey under the assumption that Kartika loves him with as much depth as he does. It’s a lopsided story, holding a mirror only to Jaggi’s pain and suffering. That in effect, is the story of Shiddat in a nutshell. And that passion makes him forget everything else but the object of his desire. One man’s foolishness is another man’s passion. But fate has something else in store for Jaggi… Nevertheless, Jaggi’s cheerfulness and positivity rubs off on Gautam and convinces him to give his relationship another chance.
Gautam advises him to forget Kartika and start a new life back in India. His Indian case officer is none other than Gautam, whose own marriage with Ira is on the rocks. He makes it to France but is caught by the authorities. He doesn’t have the resources to go to London by legal means and hence takes the illegal immigrant route. He takes her to her word and like Raj from DDLJ, sets off to woo his Simran. Separation will cool their ardour and if he does land up in London after three months, she might call it off. She, being more practical, says it’s just hormones talking. He pleads with her to call off the wedding. She’s already engaged and getting married in London in three months. Sparks do fly and he starts helping her become a better swimmer, turning into a life coach of sorts. Like the typical Hindi film hero, he starts stalking her at first. He’s a hockey player and she’s a swimmer trying for a place in the Indian team. Three years later, he meets NRI girl Kartika (Radhika Madan) in a sports camp. He takes the speech to heart and sets his life by it. The impressionable collegian Jaggi (Sunny Kaushal), who has gatecrashed the wedding, didn't get the memo, though. But it’s the sort of speech a groom is supposed to give. “If I hadn’t met you in London, it’d have been in Paris or Amsterdam,” he says, “Kyunki tum meri kismat ho.” It’s cheesy as hell and he knows it. Young IFS officer Gautam (Mohit Raina) makes an impassioned speech at his wedding reception about how he met his wife Ira (Diana Penty). Quick take: It’s a love story made for die-hard romantics
