The film industry is filled with different kinds of people, fading superstars, rising superstars, insecure actresses, jealous divas, fine actors and actresses, selfish studio owners etc and there is a lot of good and bad in the film industry, beautiful people, immense talent and potential, gossip, scandals, oversized egos, attraction to stardom, obsession etc. One of the reigning divas include, Ratanbala, a pretty but insecure and neurotic actress who does not believe in her talent but uses her charm instead to get what she wants. Ratanbala has seen it all in the film industry, ditched by a superstar, insecurity about losing her position in the film industry, etc but she manages to come through it but will this fake world of glamour takes its toll on her too. And finally she also tries to charm her way into Zafar’s life.
Prem Kumar is the reigning superstar of the times, a charmer with a flamboyant personality. Prem is aware that perhaps his charm is slowly fading with time and he will do anything it takes to retain his glory and power in the film industry. He is hugely ambitious and will do anything to maintain his superstar status. But love means very little to him and it is simply a means to get what he desires.
But will Nikhat and Zafar’s unpredictable love story be able to survive in this world where nothing seems like what it really is, the film industry set in the 50’s ad 60’s?
