The story revolves around a multidimensional Munna (Prateik Babbar) whose profession changes with the season of the day – dhobi, rat killer, and gigolo – too much of talent. Munna cleans the linens of the painter Arun (Aamir Khan) and the New-York-return banker Shai (Monica Dogra) as a part of his job. One particular instance of underworked delivery at Shai’s turns into a friendship that runs into a photographically delightful journey with Munna, Shai and the city of Mumbai.
