- Cities are a hard place to live in. Especially when you're not in love. Or looking for it or losing it.

Either way it's an emotion that always mesmerizes us and hardly ever let's go. Three acclaimed directors of Bollywood, take us through winding paths of longing and love.
- Story # 1: Pradeep Loharia (Abhishek Banerjee) works as a sales person at a local fashion retail store called "Delight Wear". Pradeep works the ladies' section of the store and is a very sincere person. Pradeep lives in the slums and shares his room with another person. Pradeep works hard at cleaning the store, while his colleague Shanty would leave everything on Pradeep and leaves right after the owner (Jay Upadhyay) leaves the store. Pradeep never had a girl in his life, not that anybody knew of.
The store has 2 male mannequins, and one day, the store acquires a female mannequin. Pradeep is instantly besotted with the female mannequin and has feelings towards it. So much so, that Pradeep would not even allow Shanty to touch the mannequin and would change her clothes himself.
Pradeep starts talking to the mannequin and tells her that he is from Gadarwara in MP. He names the mannequin "Pari". Pradeep takes permission from the store owner and adorns the mannequin with jewelry. He argues that more customers will walk into the shop when they can see how the clothes will look paired with normal jewels. Pradeep takes Pari out on a date to the beach. Shanty watches him talking to the mannequin inside the store.
The store owner sees Pradeep's actions on CCTV camera and confronts him. The owner is about to fire him, but Pradeep begs for his job and is banned from the women's section and the mannequin. Pradeep gets into a fight with Shanty when he dresses the mannequin in skimpy clothes. Due to his antics, Pradeep is fired from his job.
Pradeep returns to his village and meets his childhood friend Sashi (T.J. Bhanu). Pradeep tells Sashi that he was fired from his job (and the true reason behind it), but still Sashi agrees to marry him. As he is getting married, Pradeep again calls the store owner and asks for his job back. But when Pradeep returns to the store, he finds the female mannequin missing. Shanty apologizes to Pradeep as Pradeep could have squealed on Shanty, but he didn't. Shanty reveals that when Pradeep left, the owner got rid of the female mannequin. Pradeep searches all markets, looking for Pari. He finds her at a costume shop. Pradeep tells Pari about Sashi and bids her a final goodbye.
