Note: Starring Vijay Raaz of 'Monsoon Wedding', the film is a contemporary comedy. Set amidst the backdrop of dance bars and a lower middle class tenement, the film takes a hilarious look at what happens when a television soap opera becomes a reality for the hero who finds his daily escape amidst its lead characters.
Synopsis: Raghu is a man who takes television rather too seriously. The 30-year-old waiter in a ladies dance bar lives with his widowed mother in a ramshackle lower middle class tenement. A dancer Sweety is in love with Raghu, and a gangster 'Brother' is in love with Sweety. One shining light inspires Raghu to coast through his humdrum existence with a semblance of equanimity - the ideal woman 'Neeta', who is unfortunately a character in the long running hit television soap opera 'Dard Ka Rishta' (Relationship of Grief). Reshma, the actress who plays Neeta is hardly like the character she portrays. What happens when reality collides with fantasy? A madcap adventure that ends with Raghu finally growing up.
