 * Bridezilla: Nataha becomes increasingly this, to Kabir's increasing bafflement.
 * Better as Friends:
 * Clingy Jealous Girl: Natasha, to the point that she flies to Spain just because he saw Laila in the background and believed she was flirting with Kabir (in reality, Laila was carpooling with them out of attraction for Arjun)
 * Daddy Had a Good Reason For Abandoning You:
 * Freudian Excuse: Arjun is a money spider workaholic because he experienced profund poverty as a child and doesn't want to be wiithouts finantial stability ever again.
 * If We Get Through This: when preparing for the Running of the Bulls the three friends agree that in they survive the running intact they'll do the thing they had dragged their feet for too long ( for Arjun, for Kabir,  for Imran).
 * Married to the Job: Arjun, to the point his friends trow off his phone so he can finally enjoy the trip.
 * Once More, with Clarity: The first scene of the film is Kabir proposing to Natasha. Then in a flashback, we see what really prompted the proposal.
 * The Trickster: Imran and Kabir have both a tendency of create situations to make others embarrass themselves or confess things.
 * Toros Y Flamenco: mostly averted. Albeit the stereotypical festivals of La Tomatina and the Running of the Bulls plus a flamenco tableau in Seville appear, Spain is presented in a modern (albeit touristic) way.
 * Uptight Loves Wild: Arjun falls in love with the free-spirited Laila
 * Wacky Marriage Proposal: Kabir to Natasha
 * Where Da White Women At?: a variation: Nuria, an Spanish girl, express attraction for Imram precisely because he's a dark-skinned Indian (or at least, darker-skinned than her).
 * Workaholic: Arjun
