Ravi (Jackie Shroff), an eligible businessman, who brings out their true characters. Roma leads Ravi all the way to the marriage, before tiring of her "Conquest" and moving on, leaving chaos and a broken Ravi in her wake. Reema is there to pick up the pieces, and marries Ravi, not only to protect the family’s reputation, but also because she had always loved Ravi but was afraid to reveal her feelings. Suddenly one day Roma returns, determined to get back what she thinks Reema stole from her. But now only one question plagues them both - Who will Ravi choose?

This strong, independent, confident, successful girl becomes so unsure of herself that she decides to see a shrink. The story unfolds as Rhea narrates her story to the shrink, hoping he can give her solutions to all her problems. She tells him how, from a career-oriented woman she turned into a 16 year old girl, madly in love after she met her new boss, Karan Oberoi and they hit it off from day one. Rhea has to face a sudden storm when suddenly Karan dumps her and she is left heartbroken and homeless.There are only two people who stand by Rhea. First is Anu, her best friend who is a quintessential feminist. Anu is Rhea's partner in crime on most occasions, she is someone who keeps getting in and out of relationships and the main reason for this is that she always looks for some sort of emotional support in a man. Second is Vishal, her senior at the office, who is a true womanizer in every sense. Vishal comes across as a nonchalant care free guy but deep inside he is emotional and he helps Rhea overcome her breakup. They both share a unique bond and it is hard to put a label on it but their chemistry is "un-deniable".Tutiya Dil, hence, is a romantic comedy, a love story gone wrong, gone right, then a bit wrong and finally right again. It's right because the characters are human and relatable. It's wrong because the characters are nuts. It's right again because it's got a racy screenplay, promising and a passionate team. It's wrong because the hero doesn't find his love, the heroine finds her love. That's right! It's a story of today's youth. It's a tragic comedy of 'heart breaks'.
