The film opens with adult Ved (Ranbir Kapoor) and Tara (Deepika Padukone) are
in a spectacle which shows of the monotonous life of a person in the corporate
world. A scene in the spectacle turns to a flashback in Shimla where young Ved

from school. As a child, Ved is fascinated by the stories narrated by a road
side story teller (played by Piyush Mishra) who keeps mixing up his
characters.
