Starring Arbaaz Khan,[1] Ashutosh Rana, Himansh Kohli, Supriya Pathak, Manjari Fadnis, Rati Agnihotri and Prem Chopra in the lead roles.
[2][3] The film opens with writer Alia Patrick (Manjari Fadnis) receiving an award at the White House.
Her father, a factory worker, struggles to send his two sons and Alia to a good school.
She is sent to interview Kunwar Vikram Pratap Singh (Ashutosh Rana), the ruler of a former royal kingdom.
The prince quietly instructs the head servant and the hospital staff to ‘do the needful’ (meaning kill the girl child).
Eventually, she applies for a writing job at a small magazine run by the eccentric Urdu lover Shaukat Mirza (Prem Chopra).
Alia, however, walks through the slums and bylanes and draws upon her own struggles to produce a report, which impresses Mirza so much that he hires her on the spot.
Mirza recommends Alia's work overseas, and she receives a job offer from a New York newspaper.
But when Kunwar Vikram Singh finds her in Mumbai, Alia realises she cannot be safe in India anymore.
But her joy is short-lived when she discovers that her envious and spiteful female co-workers accuse her of sleeping with Aditya Kapoor (who, unbeknownst to her, is a trustee of the newspaper) to get the promotion.
He also forcefully says that running away is not fair to all the people – her school principal, Mirza, the New York paper, Lakshmi, and Aditya himself – who genuinely thought she was a good writer and helped her go forward.
