The movie, "Hamari Adhuri Kahani", revolves around Vasudha (Vidya Balan). In this movie, she plays the wife of Hari (Rajkumar Rao). Vasudha struggles with life, looking after her son after Hari mysteriously vanishes a year after their marriage. Vasudha takes up a job in a five star hotel to prevent herself from slipping into destitution and poverty.
In a sudden turn of events, Vasudha is asked to decorate the presidential suite of the hotel, where, the owner Aarav (Emraan Hashmi), who plays a millionaire hotelier has come to stay. As Vasudha is decorating the premises, Aarav falls in love with her and offers her a higher job. The movie takes some interesting twists and turns from there on.
Some of them are; a fire alarm prank played by Aarav and Vasudha accepting the new job offer. The twists and turns are quite evident, as there is love brewing between Aarav and Vasudha.
Hari, who is declared a terrorist, comes back to Vasudha and abuses her physically and emotionally. He imposes himself and Vasudha is caught trying to make up her mind between her true love and her married life.
There are many other twists and turns, but it is better you discover it yourself. I will not divulge much. There is also a small story about Aarav's childhood and a similarity between Vasudha's story and Aarav's mother.
Watch out for some cliched dialogues and moments.
