== Plot ==
"The heartwarming romance story, situated in a bustling city, follows the experiences of its characters through friendship and unwavering love."<ref>{{Cite web |title=
Lara Dutta, Neena Gupta's 'Ishq-e-nadaan' to be out on this date|url=https://www.bignewsnetwork.com/news/273888064/lara-dutta-neena-gupta-ishq-e-nadaan-to-be-out-on-this-date|access-date=2023-07-04 |website=Big News Network}}</ref> The film is a culmination of three parallel stories with the common theme of unconventional love and Mumbai city itself.

A luxury hotel front-desk staff, ''Ashutosh'', is a single father who falls in love for a successful businesswoman, ''Ramona'', who frequently stays in the hotel. Even though his new developing feelings don't find reciprocation, as ''Ramona'' turned out to be lesbian and was using the hotel to secretly meet her lover, ''Ashutosh'' understands there situation and encourages Ramona to be more open about her love to the world. Between all this, he applies for a lucky draw organised by the hotel chain and wins a trip to ''[[Rome]]'' to try ''[[Gelato]]'' and see if life still has any surprise left for him.

The second story is of a pregnant girl, ''Siya'', who returns to Mumbai from US after leaving her partner and architecture firm based job. She stumbles upon ''Piyush'', a well mannered boy, and his mother after fainting due to pregnancy and Mumbai heat . He goes for arranged dates every weekend and gets rejected, when he tells how he is frustrated with the rat-race of corporate life and would be happy to be a house husband. With time, Siya and Piyush get closer and he proposes. The father of the child arrives and some misunderstandings take place. Eventually, she gets in labour and both the guys come to the hospital. The conflict resolves and she and Piyush stay together.

The third story is of an old woman, ''Charulata'' from Indore who visits her daughter in Mumbai, and finds a eccentric filmmaker, ''Subhash'' residing in the same complex. Initially hesitant by his behaviour, she gradually starts enjoying his company. She shares to him that once she visited Rome with her husband and met a man, whom she shared everything in her heart in a cafe. Even though they never meet again, she continues to receive a poem from him every year on her birthday. Convinced by Subhash, she sets on to find the man, who she learns has died four years ago and instructed her daughter to continue sending the letters.

The stories connect in a way such that ''Ashutosh'' was that man who sent the poems after his trip to Rome to ''Charulata'', and his daughter grew up to be the pregnant girl from the second story, ''Siya''.
