==Plot==
Rahul, who is eager to move up the ranks in his call center job, lends his apartment to people connected to his boss, Ranjit, for bringing their girlfriends and affair interests in turn for recommendation. He silently loves Neha, his colleague, who has risen up in the ranks easily due to her relationship with Ranjit.

Ranjit is very unhappy with his marriage with his wife Shikha with whom he has an eight-year-old daughter. Shikha, who often meets her aunt, Shivani in her Bharatanatyam classes, reads out a letter from the US from Amol, whom Shivani loved forty years ago, but he left her to pursue his dreams in the US. Amol conveys through the letter that he is probably coming to India for the last time and wishes to meet Shivani and spend his last days with her. Shivani agrees.

Shikha's sister, Shruti, is twenty-seven and very eager to get married and meets many prospective grooms. Among them is Monty, who Shruti finds very weird and old. Shruti is Neha's roommate and Neha knows that Shruti is Ranjit's sister-in-law.

One day, Shikha meets Akash, an unsuccessful theatre artist and a divorcee at a bus stop. He practices drama with his friends in the floor above Shivani's Bharatanatyam classes. They start off as friends, but slowly start getting close and visit places non-romantically.

Monty helps Shruti get a job in his company and they become friends. Monty also conveys that his mother has found an ideal bride for him, and asks Shruti's help with the wedding shopping. Shruti slowly starts falling for Monty.

Amol and Shivani, who have rekindled their love spend one night together. In the morning, Shivani wakes up and experiences some pains, at which point Amol calls for an ambulance. She dies in his arms.

During one of meetings of Neha and Ranjit in Rahul's apartment, argument ensues between the two and Ranjit leaves. Neha, upset, attempts suicide by drinking [[Phenyl group|phenyl]].

Rahul finds Neha passed out in the bathroom and calls his neighbor who is a doctor; they are able to save Neha by making her vomit and admit her in a hospital. Rahul calls up Ranjit, who has left for Bangalore due to an urgent business, who tells him to take care of Neha for a few days.

Rahul, meanwhile, starts taking care of the recovering Neha and they form a special bond. One day, Rahul takes her to the outskirts of the city to an unfinished house. Rahul explains to Neha that his father's dream was to build a good house or a restaurant, and he had invested everything into this house. But he didn't have enough money to complete the ceiling and a few parts of the house. Now, Rahul is determined to fulfill his father's dream.

Shruti manages to track down Neha in Rahul's house. Realizing that she has attempted suicide, Shruti misunderstands the situation and slaps Rahul. Afterwards, Shriti finds that Ranjit was having an affair with Neha.

Meanwhile, Shikha visits Akash in his home, where they get physically close. Just before they get even more intimate, Shikha realizes her boundaries and leaves Akash's home.

Ranjit, who has arrived at home, sees Shikha crying and misunderstands that Shruti has told about Ranjit's affair. Ranjit then confesses himself. After confessing, Shikha says that Shruti never told her anything and confesses her friendship and closeness with Akash. Ranjit, enraged, decides to move in with Neha. Monty announces his wedding date to Shruti, who has fallen for him. Ranjit asks Rahul for the keys to which he resigns, and him, upset with the way the city has treated him, decides to leave Mumbai by train.

On the day of Monty's wedding, Rahul decides to leave, Ranjit is on the way to take Neha to a hotel, and Akash sends Shikha her handbag which she left in Akash's house. He also sends her a letter that says that he is ready to accept her the way she is: a housewife, or as a modern girl. He also writes that he has been offered a job in Dubai and he is ready to leave for the airport by train and she must come with him.

While traveling with Ranjit, Neha realizes that she loves Rahul and starts chasing his taxi to the railway station. Shruti conveys her feelings to Monty right before the wedding and leaves. Monty also realizes that he loves Shruti and chases her taxi to the same railway station on the wedding horse. Shikha dresses up and goes to the railway station.

At the railway station, Monty chases Shruti, Neha chases Rahul, and Shikha searches for Akash. Neha catches up Rahul and they patch things up. Monty finally finds Shruti in a ladies compartment and enters it. They realize their love for each other and hug. Shikha finds Akash, but tells him that she is not going to come with him and wishes him the best for his job in Dubai and leaves.

The film ends with Rahul and Neha eating dinner with the doctor and his wife from their neighborhood, Shikha and Ranjit in a happier marriage, Shruti and Monty, who have married, waiting in a traffic signal with their three-year-old child and Akash still roaming the streets of Mumbai.
