The story that follows shows how Aryan deals with the fact that he loves a robot and how he tries to keep her identity hidden from his family.

What doesn't work for Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya:
Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya lacks major conflicts and mostly runs on gags. While the first half of the film is paced well and is unquestionably funny, the second half is slightly slower, although there are laugh-out-loud moments at regular intervals to make up for it. The movie loses its way in the third act, with few jarring scenes towards the end. The end is logical but it's the execution that's a mish mash. The climax feels anti-climatic and the end is abrupt, with a promise of more.
