In this slacker bro-mantic comedy, writing partners Dulal and Mainak dream of shaking up the Bollywood film industry, however their scripts are continually rejected by all the big producers. They find some hope when the drug addled Gonzo Kapoor, the son of a famous B movie producer, hires them to write an art house film billed as "Tarkovsky with orgies" for his directorial debut. All seems well until Dulal meets Ruma, a beautiful photographer who makes him question his choice to sell out, and the two friends must choose between friendship, love and the chance of a big break. The film delves into the world of young migrant writers, their hopes and their ontological anxiety.
