Vidya rents a flat in an apartment only meant for Sales tax employees. Every now and then, a vigilance raid happens in the apartment and then he has to hide in the terrace and stay there all night. Mehak Malavde, a struggling dancer moves in as his neighbor. Vidya and Mehak regularly have fights over the loud music she plays all night during parties. One night, there is another vigilance raid on the apartment. Mehak gets caught and gets thrown out of her flat. Vidya manages to escape since he came home late that night. Having nowhere to go, Mehak breaks into Vidyas apartment and plans to live there. Since Vidya hates her, it becomes impossible for him to stay with her, but she gives him no options.
Slowly, they start liking each other. One night, they both have a bad fight and Vidya leaves his job and returns to his hometown. Mehak also moves out and starts living in a new flat. Slowly, they realize that they are missing each other and decide to unite by the end of the movie.
