Perspective

Fateh Singh (Diljit Dosanjh) is a Punjab police constable who desperately wants a promotion to the rank of Inspector. He steals the uniform of his superior, Village Inspector Joginder Singh (Jaswinder Bhalla) and tells his family that he got promoted. The morning after the party to celebrate Fateh's "promotion", Inspector Singh reams out Fateh for stealing his uniform. During a meeting with the District Commissioner, who shares that he cannot see his daughter, Pooja (Neeru Bajwa), following a nasty divorce from her mother, the Commissioner tasks Inspector Singh with going to Canada to convince Pooja, who, to the Commissioner's knowledge, is a hairdresser in Vancouver, and Pooja's mom to move back to India. Realizing this is an opportunity to get rid of Fateh, Inspector Singh tasks Fateh with going to Canada to bring Pooja back. Fateh assumes that it should be a fairly easy task and departs.

He flies to Canada and upon reaching Vancouver, starts his mission to bring Pooja back. He receives his visa under the guise of being in an police partnership between the Punjab Police and the Vancouver Police Department to catch a criminal named "Shampy Daku". Unbeknownst to Fateh, the police officer he is paired with is actually Pooja, who left the hairdresser job to become a cop. To avoid working in this police partnership with Pooja and to seek out Pooja, Fateh fakes being sick several times. Fateh believes that Pooja's friend Preeti, who still works at the beauty salon, as Pooja herself. Fateh starts to convince Preeti (acting as Pooja) to come back to India as Fateh's husband. After being invited to Preeti's house, Fateh learns that Preeti is not Pooja and that Pooja is actually the police officer he's been partnered with.

Fateh, with the clock ticking on his Visa avoid deportation back to India, reconciles with Pooja and helps Pooja to convince her mother in getting herself roped with a Caucasian guy named Chris, whom Pooja has real feelings for. This clashes with his irreverent and unsophisticated personality, but soon the two begin to find themselves drawn to one another. Realizing his feelings for Pooja, Fateh tries to get rid of Chris by making Chris embarrass himself in front of Pooja's mom. However, not long after, Pooja learns the real reason for Fateh's visit, and angrily leaves him. With the nature of Fateh's visit uncovered, Fateh faces deportations and is now forced to back to India without Pooja. Inspired by a villager who as a subplot throughout the entire movie is battling with the Punjab Police to get to Canada, Fateh goes to the church, where Pooja and Chris are to be wed, and steals Pooja away from her wedding to get her to India. The entire drive to the airport, Fateh tries to make amends and profess his feelings for Pooja.

The movie ends with Fateh successfully reuniting the Commissioner and Pooja, and Fateh receiving a promotion to Inspector.
