Plot
The relation between Ajay (Tej Joshi) and his father (Rajeev Mehta) has turned sour after the untimely death of the former's mother. As Ajay becomes more and more egotistic, self-centered and rebellious, he even loses his best friends in the process. At such an unexpected crossroads of his life, fate serves him a lesson he must learn and put at stake everything that he has taken for granted. What ensues is a hyper-coaster ride of thrill, humor and emotions altogether. The film traces his journey of grappling with these challenges and coming to terms with everything he has ruined.
