Being Cyrus

The film was originally titled Akoori, a reference to a traditional Parsi scrambled eggs-like side dish.

Cyrus Mistry, a wanderer hailing from Jamshedpur, arrives at Dinshaw's house one morning.

As time passes Cyrus gets to know the oddball couple better – Dinshaw is an affable, perpetually zoned-out eccentric, while the promiscuous Katy, tired of slow-moving Panchgani life and her marriage, has embarked on an affair with her brother-in-law Farrokh in Mumbai.

Unknown to Cyrus, Farrokh plans to kill him after the deed to close the loose end.

Cyrus implies to the audience that he actually mercy killed Fardoonjee, to release him from his wretched life.

When Katy calls to check on Farrokh, Cyrus picks up the phone and tells her that her plan has failed.

The murders are shown to be an elaborate plot concocted by Tina to inherit the Sethna property.

Unwilling to participate in this murderous scheme any further, Cyrus flees with their stolen money, leaving Tina alone.
