Binita Sen (Kiron Kher) divorces her husband and leaves their comfortable home in Kolkata. She comes to the new environs of Navi Mumbai along with her daughter Nitya (Tanushree Dutta).

Nitya drops her ambition to do her MBA in the USA, begins to work at a call centre. Facing difficulties in the new city, new job, she finds it a little easier however to cope with the situation, courtesy her newfound friend, Ritesh Jetmalani (Ankur Khanna) who is very caring and understanding.

Nitya’s mother Binita Sen befriends the women in their colony in Navi Mumbai and even joins their kitty parties. She believes that this is the best opportunity to start life afresh, knowing in her heart that her daughter is annoyed with her and that her mom is responsible for their hard life in a new city.

Binita Sen’s father had left her some shares and then she locates her father’s old stock broker to discover the worth of her holdings. Here she meets Firoz Sethna (Farooq Shaikh), an ethical but irritable and a weird stock broker who guides her in her investments.


So now the news of Ritesh marrying Kirti is favorable for everyone and the markets too. Nitya, despite her feelings for Ritesh, cannot do anything more. Binita sees her daughter’s dilemma and finally tells her the real reason for her coming to New Mumbai. Her husband had left her for a younger woman, and she didn’t want her daughter to deal with the pressure or gossip nor did she want to be dependent on him.

Then comes the wedding day for Ritesh. Kirti has other plans, and the tamasha begins. There is shocking news for the stock prices. Then again some foreign investors develop a fancy for this company, and then the SENSEX soars again….

On the acting front, Masumi Makhija, Tanushree Dutta are their usual. The film survives on the performances of Farooq Shaikh and Kiron Kher. Farooq Shaikh is awesome in the role of a cranky stock broker. Ankur Khanna has given a decent performance.
