Synopsis

The action of the film revolves round four unemployed youths of humble background sharing a rented establishment. Though each of them possesses different characteristic features, all of them display a lack of serious intent about life. Failure is the pillar of more failures in life - that is exactly what's happening in their life. But when their back is against the wall and they fail to get selected in a job interview for the last time they start realizing their aimlessness and the inevitable misery awaiting them. In a sudden flash of thought Kaushik, the intellectual fool, hits upon an innovative idea of dancing wildly with a popular chartbuster song without disturbing the enraged landlord living in the lower floor. As they start the silent dance listening to the song through headphones they are transported to a different realm, beyond the agony and concern of their ruthless reality. With this little trick have they found a different view of the life then?
