In a country like Pakistan entertainment has always been suppressed due to religious reasons and Changezi was always a misfit because he danced and that was not allowed in his religion or culture.

The film them shows what Changezi has done in Toronto, Canada and how he is doing what he loves to do. Various dance performances are shown with an ending note to the youth of Pakistan and a message to Pakistanis in general.
