She marries men from different religions and runs away with their wealth on the night of the wedding with their money.[8] Her entire family consists of con artists. The first man she cons is Sonu Sherawat (Rajkummar Rao). After conning a number of rich men, she gets media attention, who label her as a "looteri dulhan" (bride thief). Officer Robin Singh (Pulkit Samrat) is assigned the duty to catch Dolly. When she tries to con an innocent Delhi boy Manjot (Varun Sharma), she mistakenly lets people take a picture of her which are then splashed all over the media, forcing them to hide from public for a few months.
After 6 months, when Dolly and her gang again try to con Prince Aditya Singh (Saif Ali Khan), who recently came from abroad, they are arrested by Robin Singh. Then it is revealed that Robin Singh and Dolly have a past which provoked Dolly to be a con artist in the first place. 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.[9]
