We are introduced to a bunch of characters who struggle to find purpose and meaning in life. With this very struggle, their nationalistic ideas and sentiments find meaning. The friendship between these characters, forged in the mold of universal brotherhood, gives sense to the actions that unfold. As Ajay (R. Madhavan) dies in a plane crash, the sky comes falling down upon DJ (Aamir Khan), Sukhi (Sharman Joshi), Aslam (Kunal Kapoor), Karan (Siddharth) and Laxman (Atul Kulkarni) and Soniya (Soha Ali Khan). What struck them more was how the death of their friend got politically manipulated when it was ruled out as an accident caused by negligence in duty.
