The film intelligently delves into the taunts, discrimination and cultural expectations he’s faced, while offering a humorous yet poignant critique of the Indian matrimonial system. He simultaneously highlights the 'L' words we overlook in our lives to become happy, Pancho his Labrador being one, and also looks into marriage and relationships universally. He goes on to educate the audience with his own new theory called the 'i theory', based upon a plethora of research as to why relationships work or fail.
