A teacher with big dreams joins forces with a no-nonsense engineer to survive an ex s wedding and escape matchmaking pressure from their Indian families. Their plan? Faking an engagement, of course.
Meghna Raman defied her parents wishes and followed her life s passion, becoming a theater teacher and aspiring playwright. When she discovers that her beloved writing partner, best friend, and secret crush, Seth, is engaged and not to her she realizes he s about to become the one-that-got-away. Even worse, he s asked her to be his best man. And worse than that, she s agreed. Determined to try and move on, Meghna agrees to let her parents introduce her to a potential match. Maybe she could marry the engineer that her parents still wish she d become.
Grumpy engineer Karthik Murthy has seen enough of his parents marriage to know it s not for him. He agreed to his mother s matchmaking attempts to make her happy, never dreaming he would meet someone as vibrant as Meghna. Though he can t offer her something real, a fake engagement could help Meghna soothe the sting of planning Seth s wedding festivities and Karthik avoid the absurd number of set-ups his mother has planned for him.
As the two find common ground, grow protective of each other s hearts, and start to fall for the traits they originally thought they hated, an undeniable chemistry emerges. But soon, their expectations and insecurities threaten something that s become a lot more real than they d planned.
Say You ll Be Mine is a delightful trip back to the heyday of swoony romantic comedies from the nineties, but with a deep and poignant look at the effects of culture and family in our most intimate relationships.
