Movie Plot

Sanya Malhotra (Himarsha Venkatsamy) is a 26 years old rowdy contemporary girl but a poet at heart. She can not bear the strictness of her orthodox father and leave her house.

Sanya reaches Mumbai in search of a new life but ends up being a subject of three different individuals Mehmood (Atul Kulkarni), Das (Praveen Sirohi), and Sultan (Amol Kale).

Mehmood khan (Atul Kulkarni)  is an infamous artist and a womanizer.  He has been on a sexual journey since he was nine years old.

Das (Praveen Sirohi) is a heartless crook born in the dirt of Dharavi (Mumbai) with no identity and no existence. He kills a drunk taxi driver to start his criminal journey.

Bhave (Vipin Sharma) is a corrupt politician who deals in real estate and the black marketing of diamonds. He is a business contact of the don Sultan (Amol Kale).

All three (Mehmood, Das, and Sultan) try to induce Sanya into their emotional, sexual and financial high. Sanya's acts continue to spare that little time and space for herself where she can be herself.
