Kunal Mehra (Kunal Khemu) defines the youth of today — he dares: Dares to dream of making it big in Bollywood one day. Kunal wears the tag of a Bollywood struggler lightly, as he knows it is only a matter of time before he makes it into the big league. Until life decides to play a prank on him. The entry of the rich, debonair, Karan (Khemu), in Bollywood as well as his life, crushes all of Kunal's dreams. And suddenly the struggler is transformed into a superstar.
