Here is the full story summary of the Bollywood movie "Ladies vs Ricky Bahl."

The climax occurs during a fake wedding setup. Ricky discovers Ishika’s true identity and her alliance with his three victims. Feeling betrayed and angry, he confronts her. However, the confrontation is interrupted when the three ladies arrive. They force Ricky to confess his crimes. To protect Ishika (whom he now loves) and perhaps seeking redemption, Ricky hands over a cheque covering all the money he stole from the three women.
