Plot summary
Happy, whose full name is Harpreet Kaur, is meant to enter an arranged marriage in Amritsar with Daman Singh Bagga, a local corporator, but she has already chosen Guddu, a musician, as the man she wants. Her attempt to leave with Guddu goes wrong, and she ends up hidden in a fruit basket on a lorry, unloaded at the Lahore home of Bilal Ahmed, the son of a former governor. Happy asks to telephone Guddu; Bilal wants only to send her back to India. She slips away from his house, is arrested by the police officer Usman Afridi, and uses a false story about being smuggled to force Bilal into helping her. His fiancée Zoya, who finds Happy in the house, suggests bringing Guddu to Lahore.

- Producer Aanand L. Rai offered Abhay Deol the part of Bilal Ahmed after being impressed by Deol's performance in Rai's 2013 film Raanjhanaa, on which the two had already worked together.
- Much of Happy Bhag Jayegi takes place in Lahore, Pakistan, but the film was not shot there: it was filmed in cities in the Indian state of Punjab instead.
