Mannu and Arjun have been friends since childhood, but they don't have much in common except for the fact that their families have a slight connection to music; Arjun's life is dominated by a passion to get on stage and fulfill his grandfather's unfulfilled dream of making music, while Mannu has no interest in the instrument his father, a music teacher, plays. Meanwhile Mannu has no interest in his father's musical instrument and wants to continue his childhood without ambition, just enjoying the beauty of life. But little did they realize that it would be music that would develop their friendship, then test it and dissolve it......
Arjun pursues his dreams relentlessly, even to the point of leaving the only family he has in a foreign land -- his uncle -- to roam the world. -His uncle, he roams the streets of London until he lands in a video store and uses it as a launching pad to enter the world of music and learn the art of performing.
When Arjun forms a band with a couple of other brothers (Zoheb and Wasim) and Priya (a music fanatic from a traditional South Indian family), Mannu is making a living from music, playing in his village's wedding band, and Arjun asks him to join the band, but soon realizes that Mannu has become the biggest threat to him and the biggest danger to his ambitions. and the biggest stumbling block to realizing his ambitions. Because Mannu had become a crowd favorite with his musical talent and insane stage performances, which took Arjun years to achieve, Mannu did it in one night, making Arjun feel betrayed by God, before whom he had given up everything in pursuit of musical success.
Arjun is constantly assailed by jealousy and insecurity, and Mannu's hatred is compounded by the fact that he has unknowingly taken away his dearest love, Priya. He eventually loses his battle with his demons and comes up with an evil ploy to destroy his best friend. During a three-city tour he seduces the naive Mannu with women and drugs, sending him on a steep downward spiral that almost completely destroys his personality and normal life. The place where he plans to destroy Mannu is the very place where his grandfather failed in front of 25,000 people several years ago, and where Arjun is trying to win his own honor.
In the end Arjun comes to his senses, when it is too late, and he pays the price of breaking up the band and losing his friendships as well as his trust.
