Neha, a film fanatic from New Jersey comes to Mumbai to become Bollywood's number one once Kareena Kapoor quits. She lives with her scriptwriter father Hasmukh Hathi, who has separated from his wife.
With Neha's entry, Hasmukh is forced to take a fresh look at his parental responsibilities and commitment-free relationship with Mary-ben.
Why you should watch it
