Jatt & Juliet

Fateh Singh, a Jat villager, is crazy about marrying a Canadian girl to get Canadian citizenship, while on the other side Pooja, a classy modern girl, wants to go to Canada to study fashion design. They both first meet at the passport office where Fateh seeks Pooja's help to fill out his form, pretending that his writing hand is injured, but in reality because he does not know English. They both again meet at the airport. Pooja and Fateh often quarrel due to Fateh's lies. Pooja looks for a nice accommodation where she finds a nice house and while getting money out of the ATM, she is robbed by two thugs. Unfortunately, Pooja has to look for a cheaper place where she meets Fateh again and has to share that apartment with him. A day arrives when Jenny, a Canadian Caucasian girl, arrives at the house where Pooja and Fateh are living as she is the step-daughter of the house owner. Pooja asks Fateh to propose to Jenny and they both start making plans how to get Jenny for Fateh, but when Fateh learns that Jenny is going to Africa for social service, he ditches her and poor Jenny is left heartbroken. The owner of the house throws both of them out and they work at two different "Apna Chulha" restaurants that are run by a wife and husband, who are now separated. Fateh and Pooja soon discover that the Apna Chulha is going to be repossessed by the bank because of six unpaid property payments for the loan. Fateh and Pooja work out the process of reconciling the husband and wife so that the loan could be paid off. Slowly, Fateh and Pooja start falling for each other but both of them don't want to admit it. Fateh realises that he loves Pooja when Pooja's fiancé, Yuvraj comes to take Pooja with him to India for their marriage. Finally Fateh leaves for India with a hope to bring Pooja back to his life but after watching Pooja has been married he is left heart broken. After a while, he meets Yuvraj who tells him about the split between him and Pooja and says that Pooja is still single and Fateh runs to propose Pooja and they live happily ever after. ==Cast==
