The movie is about a qualified but short middle-aged man named Mithilesh (Rajpal Yadav) and his insecurities about his height and personality when he marries Veena,(Rituparna Sengupta). He had never thought such a woman would marry a man his height or looks. As his married life progresses with his loving and devoted wife, his insecurities continue to grow. He becomes jealous of his friend Saleem, (Varun Badola), Veena's childhood friend Akash, (Kay Kay Menon) and others who he claims are infatuated with his wife. Slowly, he suspects a change in Veena's behavior and starts believing she wants a divorce. Being a loving husband he confesses his fear to Veena and frees her from all her duties.
