Life

Khan is Varun Malhotra

Shyam
is about to loose his girl friend, Priyanka, to a high flying computer
guy in the office.
He
feels this is happening because there is no career progression in
his job and so Priyanka is going for a high achiever.
Meanwhile,
his colleague Esha Singh (Isha Koppikar) is an aspiring model waiting
for that elusive break but Varun Malhotra (Sohail Khan) who is obsessed
with sleep, fast life and girls is awe of Esha.
There
is also Radhika Jha (Amrita Arora) a sweet little housewife, who
is constantly looking for ways to manage home life with her bossy
mother in law and a beleaguered grandfather.

Lastly,
there is Military Uncle (Sharat Saxena) who is not allowed to speak
to his grandchild making life unbearable for this man.
What's
more, these call centre workers find their world crumbling around
them as decisions on achieving high targets are conveyed by their
boss, Subhash Bakshi (Dilip Tahil).
He
continually takes away the credit for projects done by his co-workers
and this does not help moral around the office.
It is a night when dreams finally crumble. For, there is that one
call from God to save these people from their mundane lives. . .

fears.
