The film starts off with a young man on stage, singing his heart out. The blaring crowd is
cheering for his melodic voice as he looks up at the sky and sings a heartfelt song.
A man from the crowd throws a can of soda at the young singer’s face. Rahul Jaykar,
the successful and young musician leaps down stage and attacks the man who attacked him.
The man who attacked Rahul is also an artist known as Aryan, who lost his career because
Rahul’s flourished. A fight ensues and security pulls the two men apart.
Rahul talks about leaving everything and going somewhere peaceful, and his music manager berates
him for not being competent enough. He tells Rahul that after performing all over the world,
no one wants him anymore. Rahul drinks alcohol straight from the bottle while hearing that.
Judging from his constant drinking, it can be concluded that he is an alcoholic.
Rahul leaves in his car. He drinks and drives all the way, while remembering the first time he was
seeked out by agencies and won his first award. He became the best singer in all of India and
won several trophies. His popularity got to him though, he was not happy with his life at all.
Suddenly he sees a girl crossing the road and steers to the side,
crashing into the wall. He gets out and asks the fallen girl if she is okay, to which she snarkily
points out him wearing sunglasses at night. Rahul made her drop the basket of tomatoes she
was carrying and he helps her pick them up one by one.
Rahul goes to a bar but finds it closed. The bartender directs him towards a bar
that is a couple blocks away, but says the bar isn't deserving of him, at this Rahul laughs
and walks there, while in the background a beautiful song is being sung by a girl.
When Rahul arrives at the bar, he comes across the same girl who dropped the tomatoes,
singing on stage. He is mesmerized by her voice and stares at her.
She glares at him and continues singing. Her serenade makes the young man smile
wide and mouth the lyrics along with her. Rahul walks up to her, shes about to lash out
at him but as he takes his sunglasses off, she and her friends recognize
him. She starts stuttering when she sees him, apologizing for not recognizing him before.
He takes her to the side and compliments the girl and asks for her name. She tells him her
name is Aarohi, and right as he is talking to her, his manager arrives and starts dragging him
away. Rahul asks for where she lives, takes his manager's car keys and leaves to where she is.
He calls her from outside her home and she quiets him down, climbing over the
fence and dragging him down by the car so no one sees them, she tells him the bar manager
will cut her salary if she is seen outside. Rahul tells her that she wants to be a singer.
Confused, she asks how he knows. Rahul saw her stare at a picture of a legendary singer Lata
and knew right away she wanted to be a star. Aarohi tells Rahul she already tried to become
a singer but no one gave her a chance, Rahul replies by saying he’ll help her become one.
She gets the wrong idea and states that shes not that type of girl. He assures
her he does not mean that and only wants to see her succeed because he sees a spark in her.
Furthermore, Rahul tells her he has fallen in love. Hearing this, she smiles shyly.
The next day, Aarohi tells her boss she wants to leave work. He refuses and asks her to pay
25,000 rupees. She has an argument but the un-serious manager hears none of it.
Rahul shows up and gives him a lecture on how he should respect his singers. He pays the money
owed by Aarohi and leaves with her. They arrive at Mumbai together and part
ways temporarily. Aarohi arrives at her parents house and hugs her father close.
She hugs her mother, who then asks for 100 rupees from Aarohi so she can go to the market for dinner
ingredients. Aarohi confesses that she didn’t get any money from her previous job, and that she
is here because someone promised her a job. Hearing this, her mother is very disappointed and
walks to the kitchen without a word. Aarohi follows her but her mother starts crying,
and tells Aarohi she worked really hard to educate her.
Rahul tells his uncle, who is head of the agency. After some persuasion, he finally
agrees and calls her over to the studio. On the way to pick up Aarohi, some thugs gang
up against Rahul and beat him up. This causes him to miss her call. Rahul’s manager rushes him to
the hospital. Aarohi calls him again and this time, his manager picks up and lies about Rahul
being in London. Aarohi is very disappointed and looks towards her saddened mother.
The following days, Aarohi keeps trying his number, but the strict manager lies
about Rahul’s number changing. Aarohi’s home condition is so bad that her mother has to sell
the only necklace she has for money. Aarohi arrives at Rahul’s residence,
but the gatekeeper lies about him not being in Mumbai, so she gives her number to the
gatekeeper and asks him to give it to Rahul. While she is leaving, she sees
him driving his car, laughing with his friend. Devastated and broke, Aarohi runs to her friend’s
house and demands for a job, good or bad. When the gatekeeper notifies Rahul of Aarohi’s
visit, he finds out that Vivek, his manager had been cutting her off
from him. He rushes to a party held for him and punches Vivek in the face.
Vivek argues that he did it for Rahul’s benefit, but really if you think about it, he did it for
selfish reasons. Vivek did not want Rahul to give his own success to some other girl, but Rahul
says he does not want fame, money, respect, but Aarohi does, and he wants to give it to her.
Rahul calls Aarohi and finds out she has been performing at some shady hotel for money. He takes
his uncle along and they listen to her sing. When Aarohi sees Rahul looking at her from a
distance, she rushes out of the hotel. He stops her but she screams at him
with anger. He gets in the car with her while the taxi driver drops her off.
On the way there, he tells her of the accident he was in and how he was at the hospital for
2 months. Aarohi tells him she cannot leave her job in hopes that he will help her again,
he assures her she doesn't have to and calls her to his uncle’s office tomorrow morning.
Next morning, Rahul’s uncle meets her and tells her he likes her voice,
but she needs some grooming, Rahul promises to train her voice himself, and they get started.
The next part of the movie is them practicing inside the studio, outside, on rooftops. The song
plays in the background as scenes of them singing and spending time together plays on screen. When
Rahul gets a call from his dad, he tells him hes very happy. Rahul’s dad asks him in a surprised
voice if he is in love, Rahul looks towards Aarohi laughing and playing and confirms it.
Now that time has passed, it is time for Aarohi to sing officially in the studio for the first time,
but her nerves get the better of her. She is extremely nervous and self-conscious.
Rahul softly tells her he is with her and she should trust herself more. He goes on to tell
her he loves her, and that he has been waiting for this day to arrive. She looks into his eyes and
meets him outside the door she was locked in. She finally sings in the microphone and surprises
everyone in the studio with her beautiful voice. They cheer for her and she signs an
official contract with the famous company. The next scenes show Aarohi’s family and friends
celebrating. Rahul finally made he dream come true and she gets large gigs for her talent.
Some time later, at the Indian Music Awards, Aarohi’s name gets nominated
and she arrives there, looking for Rahul. He comes up behind her and drags her away, telling
her he was at the bar having a drink. She asks him how he will recognize her in a crowd if he drinks
so much, Rahul romantically replies by telling her he might forget his own face, but never hers.
They get interrupted when a woman asks Aarohi for an interview, Rahul tells her to go get
the star and she goes for the big event. He watches her from the hotel bar and sees
her win her very first award! Rahul raises his glass in victory. But someone spoils his mood by
backstabbing her and Rahul, talking about how she will only be a maid to him. He glares at them and
leaves the venue. Aarohi tries catching up to him but he drives away without even noticing her.
Later at his balcony, he sits on the steep end and drinks to his heart’s content. Aarohi
arrives and tries to get him down the balcony, but he starts walking on the railings.
She pulls him to her and lightly pins him down, asking why he is behaving this way. He
tells her they need to breakup, he does not trust himself with her, claiming that it doesn't take
long for a man to turn into an animal. Rahul walks inside and Aarohi follows him,
asking him to stop drinking once and for all, but he refuses to do so. He says his addiction
is like a wife who wont even divorce him. Hearing his rigidness, Aarohi refuses to
accept the fame without him by her side and leaves. He runs to her in the rain and they
kiss on the sidewalk. He carries her home and lays her down and they kiss again.
A few days later, they get a house together. Her mother is concerned for her life,
because she can live in one house with him but not get married.She looks towards
Rahul and tells her he is her life. The next part of the movie shows Aarohi
gaining fame while Rahul supports her, still it seems like he cannot let go of his addiction.
Vivek, Rahul’s ex-manager visits him and they hug it out, he apologizes for the way he behaved
that time and Rahul forgives him. Vivek asks Rahul to sing a soundtrack for a small movie,
to which Rahul happily agrees. Rahul records the song but experiences
problems in his pitch, his voice seems a little too flat. When the song producer laughs at him,
Rahul snaps and asks for a break. Rahul and Vivek have a conversation, where Rahul
blames his addiction for his voice deteriorating. He walks away from the studio and visits Aarohi,
who is singing inside the studio room. When the song producers see him lurking
around her, they call him a flop artist who is very annoying.
Rahul, inside his own music room throws down his music records and stands near his piano.
Aarohi comes up behind him and hugs him. He pretends to be nonchalant in front of her,
asking her if she wants dinner, and continues telling her about
some calls he got in regards to her new songs. Aarohi senses that something is wrong with him and
tells him to look at her. She asks him if anything has changed and he kisses her forehead.
When the food delivery has arrived, the rider asks for a photograph, Rahul is about to sign
it but the rider says he wants Aarohi’s sign. The undeniable conflict between Rahul and Aarohi
can be felt in the air, as Rahul refuses to look at Aarohi, while she feels guilty as well.
Later that night over a few drinks, Vivek tells Rahul he only has 2 lakh rupees remaining in his
bank account. At that moment, Rahul’s bank card gets declined at the bar as well.
A few days later, after Aarohi returns home from a shooting,
she sees Rahul fumbling through the cabinets desperately, looking for alcohol, chanting
over and over again, “Everything is over.” Aarohi holds him in her arms and runs to get
water, but when she returns she sees him stealing her wallet so he can go out and
drink. Seeing this, she hides behind the door and sobs. He rushes out for
drinks without acknowledging her. Rahul sits at a bar and drinks alone,
when his dad calls him, worried for his son, Rahul assures him he’s not alone.
Rahul feels a surge of love for Aarohi and goes to the music event she is attending. When there,
he sees her up on stage, but she is not smiling, she is not happy without him.
He tries walking to her but the cameramen and security attempt to stop him. Having had enough,
Rahul creates a ruckus at the party. Aarohi runs to him but in his anger, he pushes
Aarohi and she hits her head, bruising it. Seeing that he hurt her, Rahul rushes away with shame.
He goes home and breaks the entire bar area of his house, screaming and crying.
He finally falls asleep on top of the glass. The next morning, he wakes up to Aarohi picking at
a glass embedded into his foot. He snaps at her to stop, screaming at her to stop following him.
In his desperation to be alone, he drags her out the door. But she sits outside and
expresses her love for him and all he did to help her achieve her goals.
She cries while clinging to the door. He opens the door and sits beside her,
asking her to help him over and over. Aarohi takes him on a vacation without
anyone knowing. They go to a beautiful resort with scenic views and she helps
him get back on his feet. The kind-hearted girl even bathes him and feeds him back in shape.
When he experiences withdrawal symptoms, she holds him through it all. She does all he did for her.
By the end of it, he finally sings for her. Rahul’s uncle comes up to see them at the resort,
and lecture Aarohi about how important it is that she go with him to record the new song.
Rahul, who feels like he has shackled her feet asks her to go to work. She
refuses to leave him, but he promises her he’ll take care of himself.
Days later, Aarohi gets up on stage while Rahul watches from backstage.
Rahul comes face to face with Aryan, the man who ruined his concert a while back.
Aryan offers Rahul alcohol in order to get him back to his detrimental habits,
but Rahul refuses, saying he quit. He gets approached by an interviewer who
asks to interview Rahul’s relationship with Aarohi. The interviewer provokes Rahul by
calling Aarohi a prostitute. Rahul attacks the man who runs away, screaming profanities.
Rahul is not able to handle the stress and grabs the bottle of alcohol, downing it down.
Later at the police station, Rahul sits in jail at 12 am for several offenses
that he committed towards a journalist, a taxi driver, and even crashed a car.
When the police officer refuses to let him out, Aarohi gives all her jewelry to
the police officer, telling him they had a lover’s quarrel.
She takes him away back home and lays him down. Outside the room, she has a conversation with
Rahul’s uncle, telling him that if Rahul cant come to her world, she’ll go to his,
she claims she will become an alcoholic with him somewhere far away and along the way,
she’ll find him and bring him back home. Rahul listens to this with pain filled eyes.
The next morning, Rahul caresses Aarohi’s face and wakes her up. He tells her with
a gentle smile that he wills top his habits once and for all, for her. He tells her he
will join the gym, follow a good diet and do everything the way she wants him to.
While he is leaving, she hugs him tight and tells him she loves him a lot. He kisses her cheek. He
calls out her name but like so many times, when she looks back, he says “nothing” and smiles.
For some reason, something feels off. Rahul drives his car to a bridge and falls
below into the ocean. He commits suicide. The next scene shows a muffled audio and
scene of Aarohi approaching the bridge from where Rahul jumped, and pushing her
parents away who are trying to console her. She goes to Rahul’s studio and tears down his
pictures, calling him a liar and sobbing. A few days later, Aarohi packs all her things
to leave the house she got with Rahul. Vivek approaches her and gives her a realty check,
telling her Rahul died so that she could live. She cries with her back turned.
She sings on stage while remembering all the support he offered her.
The next scene shows Aarohi sitting on the beach when two fans approach her, asking
for her autograph. It is a very heartfelt scene when she signs her name as ‘Aarohi Rahul Jaykar.’
