Plot

Kahani (Mahie Gill) and her husband Nirbhay (Priyanshu Chatterjee) had planned to celebrate their wedding anniversary in Goa but due to some last minute work Nirbhay stays back and Kahani has to travel alone. While she waits for her husband in Goa, she picks up a book to read written by her favourite author Nagarjun (Nana Patekar) and after a short while a visitor rings the doorbell of her house, who turns out to be none other than Nagarjun himself. The conversation that follows between the two of them, where Nagarjun talks about love, its true meaning, and the relevance it has in our lives, forms the crux of this film's story.

Critical reception

Mihir Bhanage of The Times of India found the film to be boring and gave it a rating of 2 out of 5 saying that, "If you have issues in your love-life, visit a marriage counsellor. Wedding Anniversary will only add some phrases to your Hindi/Urdu vocabulary."[9] Nandini Ramnath of Scroll said that, "'Wedding Anniversary' is as much fun as a divorce hearing".[10] Vishal Verma of Glamsham gave the film a rating of 1 out of 5 and said that, "Wedding Anniversary is an unintentional horror that makes us wonder what on earth are talents like Nana Patekar and Mahie Gill doing in this flick?"[11]
