Plot

[edit]

Mumbai, the commercial capital of India, is a city that never sleeps. Rapidly changing at a feverish pace with every passing second, it is always on the move, and so are the people living in it. In this story, we gain insight into the lives of the people living in this city and how the pace of the city affects their relationships and how they deal with it. No matter what happens, life has to go on.

This is also the story of four couples and their lives in a metropolitan city. They belong to different social and financial strata, and everyone has their own problems to deal with. What one couple has, the other doesn't. Each couple looks at the other couple and wishes that if only they had what the other couple has, their life would be a bed of roses, be it on a monetary level or moral terms. What seems to be a major and almost insoluble problem for the first couple is just a petty issue for the second. Similarly, the second couple's serious problem is not looked upon as a problem at all by the first, and likewise with the other two couples. In a pursuit to achieve what they lack and in a desperate search for that one thing that would solve all their problems, they find themselves lost in the ever-moving crowd, where no one has time for themselves, leaving aside the cares of the world.

In due course of time, all four couples come together with a distant vision of that one event which would end all their problems and set them free. Is it reality or just a figment of their vivid imagination?
