Source-derived summary

Will You Marry Me? is a 2012 Indian Hindi-language romantic comedy film directed by Aditya Datt. The film stars Shreyas Talpade, Rajeev Khandelwal, Tripta Parashar, Mugdha Godse, Celina Jaitly and Muzammil Ibrahim in lead roles. It was shot in several locations including Fujairah, Dubai, Mumbai, and Bangkok.

Plot

The film is about three bachelors, Aarav, Nikhil, and Rajveer, who, along with eleven other collegemates, sign a contract with two clauses. The first clause says that all of them have to purchase a certain number of Reliance shares, and the second explains that all the shares will go to the man who will remain unmarried till the end. Slowly and steadily, people start to break away from the rule, and only Nikhil, Rajveer, and Aarav remain single. Nikhil is in love with his childhood friend Anjali and wants to settle down with her, but the other two have no such plans. However, they find the proceedings interesting after discovering Anjali's best friend Sneha at the wedding. Suddenly all their plans to remain unmarried till the end vanish, and the two start trying to win Sneha's heart.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “2012 film by Aditya Datt” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Attribution, date and provenance are strongest when supported by the original work, a catalogue record and documented transmission. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 5, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7563902. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2012.

Critical limits

Rights, attribution and provenance may remain disputed even when a general reference summary presents a stable account. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Separate the work, its editions or performances, and its later reception. Catalogue records, publication histories and object files often preserve different parts of that story.
