Jabariya Jodi is a Bollywood romance-comedy, helmed by Prashant Singh. The movie stars Sidharth Malhotra and Parineeti Chopra in the lead roles. Jabariya Jodi revolves around the theme of groom abduction in Bihar. The film was earlier titled 'Shotgun Shaadi'.
Set in Uttar Pradesh, Abhay Singh (Sidharth Malhotra) is a 'Baahubali' who conducts 'Pakadwa Vivah' where he kidnaps eligible grooms and gets them married at gunpoint to girls, whose families cannot afford the dowry demanded by the boy's side. His father Hukum Singh (Javed Jaffery) brainwashes him into believing that this 'groom-kidnapping' business is more like a 'samaaj seva'.
When Abhay bumps into his childhood sweetheart Babli Yadav (Parineeti Chopra) at a wedding, their romance is rekindled. However, he develops cold feet when Babli expresses her feelings and expresses her desire for commitment. One event leads to another and Babli decides to get hitched to him in 'Pakadwa Vivah' style.
The movie is produced by Ekta Kapoor, Shobha Kapoor and Shailesh R Singh under the banner Balaji Motion Pictures, Karma Media & Entertainment and ALT Entertainment Pvt Ltd, and is distributed by Zee Studios (International) and Pen Marudhar Entertainment.
