This movie begins when a gay fashion designer Kamlesh (Ankul Vikal) recovering from his recently ended relationship calls some of his friends over for dinner to make a special announcement about his personal life. But then Kamlesh's sisters (Rinke Khanna) enters the party with her fiancé (Atul Kulkarni), a man with a secret.
