==Plot==
''I Love NY'' (also known as ''I Love New Year'') is a romantic comedy that unfolds over a single New Year's Eve.
The plot centres on two strangers, Randhir Singh and Tikku Verma, who live in two different cities, [[Chicago]] and [[New York City|New York]], respectively in the [[United States]]. On New Year's Eve, Randhir, a commitment-phobic [[Wall Street]] [[Investment banking|Investment Banker]], gets extremely drunk after a party with his friends. In his inebriated state, he accidentally boards a flight to New York, thinking he is returning home to Chicago.

Upon arriving in New York, he takes a cab to what he believes is his apartment address. Due to an incredible coincidence, an identical apartment building with the same number and layout exists in New York, and even his house key works in the lock. He enters the apartment, gets into bed, and passes out.

The apartment actually belongs to Tikku, a beautiful musician who is a self-described member of the "unlucky club" and is about to get engaged to her high-handed and controlling boyfriend, Ishaan. When she returns home, she finds a stranger – Randhir – in her bed. A series of comical misunderstandings and arguments ensue, especially when Tikku's boyfriend arrives and assumes she is cheating on him.

As the night progresses, Randhir and Tikku are forced to spend time together, and through their bizarre circumstances, they begin to develop an unexpected connection. They share their life stories and personal struggles, finding comfort and understanding in each other's company. Their chance encounter challenges their existing perceptions about love and happiness, leading them to question their current relationships. By the end of the night, they realize they have madly fallen in love, and the "comedy of errors" on New Year's Eve becomes a life-changing event for them both.<ref>{{cite news|title=Sunny Deol To Romance Kangana Ranaut in I Love NY|url=http://www.boxofficeindia.co.in/sunny-deol-to-romance-kangana-ranaut-in-i-3-ny/|publisher=Box Office India|date=22 February 2012}}{{Dead link|date=March 2026 |bot=InternetArchiveBot }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=I LOVE NEW YEAR: Sunny Pachi Deol to tickle audience's funny bone|url=http://in.omg.yahoo.com/news/love-sunny-deol-tickle-audiences-funny-bone-115746652.html|publisher=Yahoo India|access-date=11 February 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last1=D'Souza|first1=Martin|title=I LOVE NY Movie Review : I loved I LOVE NY.
