Rajat (Kartik Tiwari), Nishant alias Liquid (Divyendu Sharma) and Vikrant Chaudhary (Rayo Bakhirta) are bachelors who live together in a flat in Delhi. Rajat falls in love with Neha (Nushrat Bharucha). Nishant falls for Charu (Ishita Sharma) who is his colleague. She makes him do a good part of her own work in office and also makes him foot her beauty parlour bills but he is dumb not to understand that she is only using him but doesn’t love him. Charu has a boyfriend, Abhi, but they aren’t on the best of terms. The third guy, Vikrant, loves Riya (Sonali Sehgal) who also can’t get over her boyfriend of many years, Varun.
Rajat leaves the bachelor pad and starts living in with Neha who, as days pass by, becomes more and more demanding and refuses to give him space. He is frustrated but he is so madly in love with her that he tolerates her discourteous behavior. Nishant is also so blinded by his love for Charu that he can’t see the obvious – she is simply using him. Vikrant, however is aware of Riya’s ex-boyfriend, Varun, and also knows that Riya has not yet called off that relationship but he doesn’t mind waiting because he is besotted by Riya. On her part, Riya keeps assuring him that she will end the relationship but actually ends up sleeping with her ex even while she is dating Vikrant.
Missing their meetings and bar-hopping, the trio decide to take a time-out by themselves. All three women, however, find out and decide to accompany them to the beach where they eventually mingle. Charu here kisses Nishant, while Rajat has a fight with Neha back at home. Charu starts to ignore Nishant and ends up eventually insulting him openly at work. Rajat and Neha eventually work out their differences, but soon after some further more problems that arise between them (such as Neha's constant tantrums), Rajat becomes so frustrated that he walks out on Neha, telling her that she 'isn't right' for him. Nishant goes into deep depression but is brought back to reality by his two friends Vikrant and Rajat. Vikrant finds out that Riya slept with her ex and leaves her.
At the end the trio are seen sitting together, laughing and feeling happy with the moment they have with each other. Later on, the three girls whom the trio fell for are shown having new boyfriends.
Pyaar Ka Punchnama got a slow opening at box office, but gradually the film picked up and did so well that enjoying its success, its sequel is also announced by its makers.
Shortly after the release of Pyaar Ka Punchnama, the makers confirmed a sequel would be produced, expected to be released the following year.[1]
