The original was a masterpiece and any attempt at rehashing it is bound to be disastrous. Sameera (Nandita Das) dreams always come true! So much so that the visuals that flash in her mind when she shuts her eyes, also have a way of actually happening.

Having grown up with squabbling parents, Sameera rebels against her autocratic father (who also happens to be unfaithful to her mother) and falls in love with a good-for-nothing Viren (Rahul Bose).

Viren is in the habit of gambling and loses huge amounts regularly. One day, he loses Rs 20 lakh at Mr Patel's (Vineet Kumar) casino. Viren is held captive by Patel, and he calls Sameera for help. She now has to arrange for the money and deliver it to the Mumbai docks to save her boyfriend's life. However, her father refuses to part with the money. When she manages to take the money at gunpoint, he puts the cops (led by theatre personality Piyush Mishra) and a hitman (television actor Kabir) on her trail. And there's a bandh in the city, forcing her to run the vast distance escaping the cops, the hitman, bandh enforcers and rioters along the way. She also encounters other assorted creatures like a blind painter and a group rehearsing a stage production of Bakri (on a bandh day?) and so on.
