- This is a dramatic chain of events in the most glamorous ,swinging era of Hindi films... the 1960s. It was a decade when film stars tasted success and carried their larger than life screen image on to real life with unbridled pomp and splendour. It was during this time that two ambitious films were made... Ujwal Nirmal Sheetal and Reena Mera Naam. The latter became a runaway hit while the former was struggling at the box office.—Official Agent
- Ravi Kumar, a successful actor from the South, is signed up for a movie opposite Zahra Fernandes, a very ambitious actress who has a career rivalry with another actress Chandni. They are both signed up for separate films with 2 different directors. While Zahra's Nirmal Sheetal etc. flops at the box office due to some under-the-table machinations by the director of the other film, the best actress award goes to Zahra. At the post-awards night, Zahra falls from a high-up balcony, and the police swing into action. The film has many other actors, all possible suspects, and revealing more would expose the plot.—Taher K.
- In December 1968, Two actresses, Zara Fernandes (Sonali Raut) and Chandni Roy (Zoya Afroz), are both set to make their film debut on the same date. Zara is an accomplished actress, but Chandni is a talented newcomer. Before their bollywood debuts, Chandni and Zara used to share a room with Mrs D'Silva. Zara hated Chandni. Bobby Chadha is the director of Chandni's film. Chandni refused to expose for Bobby because she loves Virman. Virman is the actor in Zara's film, and is Chandni's ex boyfriend. But when Virman takes her for granted, Chandni decides to take the film & Virman breaks up with Chandni.
Subba Prasad is the producer / director of Zara's film. Chandni's film becomes a box office success, whereas Zara's film is a flop. This angers Zara who believes she is higher and better than every other new actress. Zara starts an argument with Chandni after an awards party, and the two end up fighting. Later that night, Zara is murdered. The blame obviously goes towards Chandni, and she has no way to prove her innocence.
Chandni's current lover, Ravi Kumar (Himesh Reshammiya), decides to step in and find the real murderer to save his love. Ravi happens to be an ex-cop, who was sacked from his job as a police officer after shooting a parliamentarian apparently. Ravi is now an actor, who happens to have debuted in the same film as Zara (the one directed by Subba Prasad). Ravi is also Bobby's step brother, but both step bothers keep this a secret from the world). Ravi had met Chandni when he rescued her from the burning sets of her movie. The suspect list in the murder is extremely high, there is Virmaan, who is Chandni's ex-boyfriend, Subba Prasad who is Zara's film director and KD, a music director who had an affair with Zara (KD was also selling the same tunes to both Subba and Bobby), as well as many other suspects. Zara was angry with KD for using their affair to get cheap publicity in the media. D'Silva is also getting sex clients for Zara for RS 100,000 per night.
Subba and Bobby's film release on the same date. Bobby fights dirty, he spreads rumors that in one scene Virmaan has hit Ravi (who is a south Indian superstar), so everyone in south boycotts it. Plus he asks his bookies (headed by Alec D'Costa (Irrfan Khan)) to black Subba's movie for cheap, thereby turning audiences away (thinking the movie is crap). Bobby's film is a hit and Subba flops. Ravi threatens Bobby on phone. Against this backdrop, everyone heads to the awards function one night. At the after party, Zara tries to seduce Ravi, but Ravi remains loyal to Chandni. When Bobby insults Chandni, Ravi takes Bobby aside and gives him a good beating. Chandni and Zara have a fight in front of the entire audience when Zara suggests to Chandni that she would have an affair with Ravi Kumar.
In the end, it finally turns out that after Zara & Chandni's fight, Zara went up to the terrace where she met KD (hinting that their affair was still going on at the time of her death) and as the two got together, KD's wife Shabnam (Jesse Randhawa) started looking for KD Kenny Damania (Yo Yo Honey Singh). KD heard Shabnam coming up to the terrace, so tried to run away, and accidentally pushed Zara away from him, which led to her to fall from the terrace. It also turns out that after falling down, she landed outside Subba Prasad's (Anant Mahadevan) window. Subba decided to let her fall so her death could gain attention and maybe help their flop film be successful.
KD & Subba are arrested. KD is arrested for 7 years and Subba Prasad is given life sentence. After all the supposed suspects leave the court, Chandni confesses to her love for Ravi. The two get together, and Ravi tells Chandni that actually, he knew that she was the one who murdered Zara. In a flashback, it is revealed that after Subba let Zara fall down, she was still alive and was found by Chandni. Chandni was so frustrated and annoyed by her that she hit Zara on the head with a glass bottle, finally killing her. Ravi decides to keep this a secret between him and Chandni, and the two walk off and the story ends.
