The story revolves around Akash, Sameer and Sid who were best friends in college but, upon graduating from college, walk on different paths of life. Sameer's parents want to arrange his marriage with their friends' daughter, while Akash's parents ask him to manage the family business abroad. On the other hand, Sid is busy trying to become a painter and is working to develop his skill.

The film focuses on a significant transition period in the three of them's romantic lives and was inspired by Akhtar's diary detailing his trips to Mumbai and New York City, as well as a story by a friend of his, Kassim Jagmagia, who would eventually become a creative associate at Excel Entertainment.
