This is the story of three friends – Rohan (Aftab Shivdasani), Simran, (Natassha) and Priti (Dipannita Sharma). They have as much fun fighting as they have making up. Their lives are full of fun, frolic and in Rohan’s case – football. Rohan is basically a fun loving and sporty guy. He doesn’t have a worry in the world! However, during the course of the movie, other sides to his character are revealed.

Rohan loves Priti and his best friend Simi is forever giving him tips on how to woo the pretty miss. However, the fact that most of these tips backfire is another reason for Rohan and Simi to fight some more. But matters soon get sorted out once Simi’s fiancée Vicky (Himanshu Malik) arrives on the scene.

Now there are four instead of three of them having fun together. But one terrible night shatters Simi’s life forever she loses her laughter. It is at this juncture that Rohan and Simi’s existing relationship develops into something much deeper. The movie is about the bonds of friendship and how these bonds enrich ones life.
