Ranbir Kapoor, the mail protagonist in the film portrays a character of a rich spoil brat, who is busy with computer games, electronic gadgets, shopping, discotheques and partying with friends.

The story takes turn when Sid is thrown out by his parents after he fails in the examination. He shifts with lady love Aisha Banerji, played by Konkona Sen Sharma. In this film Konkona plays a character of a Bengali girl, who comes from Kolkata to Mumbai to become a writer. The opposite attracts between Sid and Aisha and their chemistry is the main essence in the film.
