Plot

The film follows the story of Tunnu (Barve), a middle-class college student, and his string of romantic misfortunes. He initially falls for a girl from a similar background (Shahane), only to abandon her after being seduced by the glamorous Tina (Rajeshwari), who strokes his narcissism. Tunnu’s misadventures are interwoven with those of his conman father (Saxena), a shady real-estate broker. In the end, the father suffers a financial collapse, Tunnu’s sister elopes with a slum activist, and his girlfriend leaves him—leaving Tunnu wondering if she was ever real. Undaunted, he joins the real-estate business, his optimism still intact
