Line 13:
** Krish's family refuses to hear anything of him marrying a Tamilian woman and insist on fix him with a "suitable Punjabi girl". Needless to say, Krish prefers to move to Chennai to keep pursuing Ananya rather than get along with such a plan.
** Later in the film, Ananya is invited to the wedding of one of Krish's cousins, and realizes that it is one of those due to the [[Ugly Guy, Hot Wife|big difference of attractiveness]] between the bride and the [[Gonk|groom]]. {{Spoiler|She successfully uses this to shame the groom into stop demanding more dowry, by pointing out that he couldn't have get such a cute girl by himself.}}
* [[Can't Live with Them, Can't Live Without Them]]: Krish and Ananya relationship towards the last third of the film. As their mutual insistence of having their families to get along puts more and more pressure in their relationship, they get distant and hostile, but {{Spoiler|when they actually break up for real, they are so unhappy and unable to function their families actually have to step on. Once their parents finally get along enough to not disturb their children happiness, Krish and Ananya get back into [[Sickeningly Sweethearts]].}}
* [[Culture Clash]]: Krish and Ananya find themselves in the crossfire of it.
** Ananya isn't that surprised that Krish's cousin is getting in an arranged marriage, but she's shocked when she notices that the bride's family is the one paying dowry to the groom, since in the southern states (from where she's from) the opposite is the most common situation.
** Krish finds himself in the bad side of Tamilian culture, not only because their reservedness makes him more difficult to discover how to please his in-laws, but because after accidentally offending them by asking them to speak in Hindi, so he wouldn't keep being excluded of conversation, they willingly erected the language barrier against him.
* [[Dysfunctional Family]]: the Malholtras. Kavita, the mother, is a classist and racist lady with absolutely no filter; Vikram, the father, is
* [[Driven to Suicide]]: the film begins with Krish going with a psychiatrist in a disheveled state, looking for help precisely because of wanting to kill himself. {{Spoiler|We later know that it was because Ananya dumped him after one slight so many, and he found living without her unbearable.}}
* [[Exact Eavesdropping]]: {{Spoiler|Ananya and her parents come back to the dining room just when Krish is (falsely) assuring his mother that she can treat Ananya however she wants after they are married. Naturally, neither Ananya nor her parents are happy of hear it.}}
* [[Hiding Behind the Language Barrier]]: Krish unintentionaly offends his in-laws by asking them to speak in Hindi more, because he felt left out whenever the family speak in Tamil around him, an incredible faux-pas due to the people of Tamil Nandu being ''very'' proud of their regional language. Their response is ramping op their Tamil usage around him.
* [[How We Got Here]]: the [[Framing Device]]. The film begins with Krish visiting a psychiatrist for [[Driven to Suicide|suicidal ideation]], with the story about how he got to that point being told in flashbacks.
* [[Happily Married]]: The Swaminathans. They are not the lovey-dovey usually associated to this trope, but they seem very content to be and be seen together (in very stark contrast with the Malhotras, where when called by representation in social functions only Kavita will appear, and are shown to barely tolerate each other in private) and the husband supports his wife's attempts to foray into singing. {{Spoiler|
* [[Heads I Win, Tails You Lose]]: Kavita tries to dismiss Ananya before even meeting her by saying that she isn't let her darling son to marry "some dark skinned southerner"; when Krish points out that Ananya actually is fair-skinned, Kavita changes her tune to "light-skinned southerners are worse!".
* [[Maligned Mixed Marriage]]: Ananya and Krish's relationship is treated like this, at least by the elder generation.
Line 27 ⟶ 28:
** Back in college, Vikram did this to Krish's then girlfriend, which ended with their breakup. By the time Krish met Ananya he was mostly over, but it still is a contentious point between him and his father.
* [[Politically Incorrect Villain]]: Kavita, the closest thing this film has as a villain, is unapologetically racist and classist.
* [[Third-Act Misunderstanding]]: See [[Exact Eavesdropping]] to get what
* [[Wacky Marriage Proposal]]: Two of them in the film, both by Krish.
** The first is when he crashes Ananya's job recruitment interview, just to declare his love and ask her if she wants to marry him. She answers in the affirmative to get him out, before going back to the interview.
** The second is when he
* [[What You Are in the Dark]]:
** On the eyes of Ananya, Krish failed this with the depicted [[Exact Eavesdropping]].
** {{spoiler|Vikram, who during all the film was shown as an insensible, distant man who disdains his family and his son's wellbeing, travels to Chennai to apologize for his wife's crass behavior and ask for the hand of the woman his son loves. Said son doesn't discover it until after his
* [[You Are a Credit to Your Race]]: the closest to approval Ananya can get of her mother
