A warm, playful comedy-drama about friendship and social aspiration, built on the reunion of childhood friends and the small-town excitement of a Bollywood star's arrival.

When a famous Bollywood actor visits a small village for a film's shoot, a poor hairdresser's claim that they were once childhood friends soon makes him the centre of attention.
