Description: **The Wedding Guest (2019) – Plot Summary**
Jay, a British man, is hired to kidnap a woman during her wedding in Pakistan. After arriving in Pakistan, he travels to Younganabad, where he rents a car and gathers the necessary equipment. He scouts the area, including the family home where the wedding party is staying. That night, Jay sneaks into the house and kidnaps the bride, Samira, at gunpoint. He restrains her with zip-ties, covers her head, and tapes her mouth. As he escapes, a guard witnesses the act and tries to intervene, but Jay shoots him dead. He places Samira in the trunk of his car and flees.
Later, Jay removes the tape from Samira’s mouth and explains the reason for the kidnapping. Samira was in an arranged marriage but in love with another man, Deepesh, who hired Jay. Jay offers Samira a choice: continue to Lahore to meet Deepesh or return to her family and proceed with the wedding. Samira chooses to go to Lahore and asks Jay to uncover her head and untie her hands, which he does.
They head to Amritsar, where Jay buys phones and SIM cards to contact Deepesh. However, Deepesh reveals he is not in Amritsar but in London and will arrive in India the next day. Meanwhile, the kidnapping and murder make headlines, causing Deepesh to change his mind about taking Samira. In New Delhi, Deepesh instructs Jay to return Samira, agreeing to pay an additional £20,000. Jay informs Samira, but she insists on meeting Deepesh instead.
In Jaipur, Jay meets Deepesh, who gives him half of the agreed payment and promises the rest after completing the job. Jay demands the full amount immediately, but Deepesh claims he will pay the next day. Jay tells Deepesh to meet him and Samira at a hotel.
