Plot



Raghu Romeo (Vijay Raaz) is a guileless man from a lower-middle-class family. He is a 30-year-old waiter henpecked by his mother and by the boss who seldom pays him. In his naivete, Raghu thinks he must protect the virtue of the bar's female staff from clients, especially Sweety (Sadiya Siddiqui), who is a hitman's girl whose cynical surface masks a soft spot for the clueless hero. But Raghu only has eyes for Neeta, a quintessential TV-soap suffering-heroine character played by (Maria Goretti). Unable to distinguish between fantasy and real life, Raghu kidnaps the terrified actress and takes her to the countryside house of Sweety. It turns out she is on the hit-list for failing to pay off the entertainment industry's mob "protectors".
