After turning producer with last year’s hit “Vicky Donor,” John Abraham steps back into his acting shoes in this romantic comedy. Abraham plays the role of Ishaan, a charismatic, handsome, music producer from Mumbai. Zarina Wahib portrays his adoring mother. For Ishaan, all things revolve around himself in his sheltered life. Mini Mathur plays Shivani, his protective elder sister, and Chitrangda Singh is Anushka, his girlfriend. He manages to take them all for granted. When his life falls apart, a new neighbor, Gauri played by Prachi Desai, enters his life and helps him learn the importance of relationships. He attempts to mend and maintain his past relationships. In the process, he falls in love and comes to a point where he must make a choice between the love that made him a better person or being a better person by taking responsibility for actions in his past. The soundtrack is composed by four music directors.

Arshad Warsi portrays Jagdish Tyagi, aka Jolly, a struggling small-time lawyer from Meerut who wants to make it big. Boman Irani plays the famous, powerful and unscrupulous lawyer who is his idol. He moves to New Delhi and reopens a high-profile court case and ends up taking on his idol. He attempts to prove his worth and skills as a lawyer to win the case. What ensues is a roller-coaster ride of moralities, ambition and relationships. In interviews, Irani has said, the reality of the film is bizarre and funny and will change people’s views about what happens in a court.
