Plot

[edit]

Raju is an unemployed MBA graduate from a simple Gujarati family who spends his time playing cricket with the young kids in the colony where he lives. One fine day, he finds a neighbour in Pooja Iyengar, who he falls in love with.

Raja is an aspiring rockstar who despises classical music. During a college festival, he has a confrontation with Pooja but ends up losing both the confrontation and his heart to her. Ram is an aspiring actor who moved from rural Punjab to become a big actor in Mumbai. He too falls for Pooja after an encounter with her.

Later, Raja and Ram shift to the colony where Pooja lives, ultimately crossing paths with Raju in the process. All three of them make a pact to compete for Pooja's hand in marriage by trying to impress her. However, the entry of Pooja's childhood friend Prabhu, who is a favourite with the Iyengars, pushes the trio to a setback, but it only fuels their aspirations.

The film goes through various emotional graphs where the three boys have their individual shares of gains and losses vis-à-vis their competitors. The girl doesn't reveal her feelings until a certain change of events makes her realize whom she really loves and would want to spend the rest of her life with.
