The movie centres around a young woman, Dolly (Sonam Kapoor), who is a young con artist. First she married Sonu Sherawat (Rajkummar Rao). She marries men from different religions and runs away with their wealth on the night of the wedding. Her entire family consists of con artists. After conning a number of rich men, she gets media attention, who label her as "looteri dulhan". A cop Robin Singh (Pulkit Samrat) decides to catch Dolly. When she tries to con Delhi boy Manjot (Varun Sharma), she slips and her photographs are splashed all over the media.

When Dolly and her gang try to con a prince (Saif Ali Khan), they are arrested by Robin Singh. Then it is revealed that Robin Singh and Dolly have a past. She is put behind bars but she escapes with Robin's help and they get married. But she leaves him too and regroups with her old gang members and goes in search of their next victim.

All music composed by Sajid-Wajid and lyrics are penned by Irfan Kamal.

The film received mixed reviews from critics.Bollywood Hungama described the film "a solid entertainer that will surely entertain the masses and classes alike" and gave it 4.5 out of 5 stars.

In its first Friday, it collected 2 crore, a result which Koimoi called "poor". At the end of its second weekend, it had collected 19.21 crore, performing well in the north, but failing in multiplexes and single screens.
