Just when Sameer is promised his big break, he is rendered homeless and finds himself struggling to make ends meet. Not one to lose heart, he begins teaching dance in a school to young kids who have no real interest in the art. When all of a sudden, the director who promised to launch Sameer, decides to go the "talent hunt" route, a shattered Sameer decides to put his dreams on hold and divert his complete focus towards the kids.
