The story started with Karan(Shahid), who wants to start his own business but his father wants him to study MBA.

They started doing business of leather gloves there in America but again took the wrong way. Their short-term success make police to suspect them, so they again have to cease that work. But the story doesn’t end here. They again started a fraud business by taking a loan from the bank. On one side, Karan’s behavior is getting arrogant which makes all the friends separate.
