Storyline:
Sheru and Tiku are marginalized souls from the underprivileged strata of society. They are ambitious for a better life but, life has different plans for them. Shiraz, popularly known as Sheru, hails from Bhopal, a small-town in India. Sheru comes to Mumbai in search of a better life. Being semi-literate, he works as a pimp for a local don, Shahid Bhai, and also as a junior artist as a decoy job, where he finds girls for his pimping business. He risks everything to win the confidence of his boss to be promoted as an equal partner. Taslim, aka Tiku, lives with her large conservative Muslim family in Bhopal. To break free from her family, she runs away to Delhi under the pretext of higher studies, where she falls in love with a man from a different religion, but her family marry her off to the first available eligible bachelor, Sheru. Sheru accepts the proposal in desperation of repaying a loan, while Tiku sees Sheru as her passport to freedom. However, Sheru falls in love with Tiku but they get caught between the chaos of the underworld, drugs, and romance and face one tragedy after the other without any time to deal with their sorrow.
