About Atrangi Re

Disney+ Hotstar is the online platform where the movie can be watched. Sara Ali Khan's character Rinku is a strong and independent young woman in the film. She disregards the opinions of others and follows her heart, which leads her to fall in love with a magician, played by Akshay Kumar, named Sajjad. Rinku is an orphan from Bihar whose parents died when she was a youngster, and she is cared for by her grandmother and extended family. Her family becomes intolerant of her behaviour and decides to marry her to someone from outside the city because she frequently leaves her house to spend time with Sajjad.

This is when the family meets Dhanush's character, Vishu, a medical student from southern India who is about to marry Mandy in two days. Rinku's family, on the other hand, forcibly marries the two. They decide to travel to Delhi as a freshly married pair and then split up when they arrive because they both have other love interests. The plot revolves around what occurs once they get to Delhi, where Rinku is torn between two men she loves.
