Sona (Konkona Sen Sharma) comes to Bombay with dreams of becoming a film star. Wide eyed but ambitious, she does whatever it takes, to make it.

She lives on her own in a rented apartment spending her time with a motley crew of loyal friends whose lives are also entwined with Bollywood, each one in search of a bigger dream. Vikram (Farhan Akhtar) has just moved to the city leaving the comforts of his parents’ Delhi Home. He is a mover, he is used to getting what he wants and is smart enough to know when to demand it and when to manipulate it.

Vikram is young, handsome and full of promise. So Sona begins to enjoy Vikram’s attention and affections; they develop a romantic relationship.

Rolly (Rishi Kapoor) is a successful though superstitious producer who only works with the biggest stars. He is making a potential blockbuster launching the nubile Nikki Khurana (Isha Sherwani), the 18 year old daughter of 70’s superstar, Neena (Dimple Kapadia).

The hero of the film, Zaffar Khan (Hrithik Roshan), is Rolly’s favorite superstar. He was launched by Rolly and went on to become a huge draw at the box office. The wheels of fate indeed continue to spin favourably for Vikram, as elsewhere in the industry, havoc spreads on the sets of producer Rommy Rolly’s new film.

Vikram is called in for an audition and uses this opportunity to the fullest in this contemporary tale set in a world desperate to escape its own reality.

The film is about a slice of Bollywood life, in which kismet plays a huge role. Here, notions of superstition, fate and destiny underline every life, as grand desires and opportunity converge to form strange patterns.
