The runaway bride:
Tilottima Punj (Konkona Sensharma) is on top of the world because she's married Hemant through the Net.
In spite of their sizzling chemistry; their honeymoon is cut short because he has to return to his job in the
US.
Now Tilottima will do what it takes - fight with ma-in-law, lie to the immigration officer - just to wing her way
back into her husband's arms.
The uncomplicated showman:
Rajubhai Patel (Paresh Raval) is a small time organizer of foreign shows. To be a part of his show will cost
an aspiring dancer/singer a few cool lakhs. But nobody is complaining, least of all, Rajubhai.
Till old flame Tara (Ratna Pathak Shah) has to mortgage her house to pay him the money to take her only
daughter into his show. And so the seasoned and hardened Rajubhai finds himself fathering a wide eyed,
innocent girl on her first trip abroad.
The excited student:
Rahul Bhide (Ankur Khanna) is a brilliant but poor student who's already got admission into a prestigious
university abroad.
But he's hardly excited, nor appears to be too keen on going because of a lack
of funds and an incapacitated father. Almost overnight, almost magically, all his problems get sorted out
and he finds himself flying out to a brighter future.
The fugitive stockbroker:
Salim Rajabali (Irrfan Khan) is the stockbroker son of a Godmother. He's besotted by the much older but
sensuous Namrata (Suhasini Mulay). Even as he involuntarily gets involved in a killing, he discovers that
she has been cheating on him.
Before the shattered man can gather his wits, his mother (Saroj
Khan) forces him to pack his bags and flee the country before he's implicated further.
Four people. Tilottima, Salim, Rahul and Rajubhai from four disparate worlds of dissimilar backgrounds.
Four people with distinct hopes and diverse motives...
Yet their lives are entwined.
For fate has randomly selected them to play their assigned roles in one of the most horrific events of recent
times.
Where one fell stroke, one chilling moment will alter destinies, shatter lives and affect generations and four
lives will change forever.
