Plot

Born and raised in the serene tranquility of Goa, the innocent and unassuming Michael Pinto leads a modest life with his widowed mother, guided by the wise Father Simon. His world, painted with the vibrant colors of simplicity and honesty, finds its rhythm in his love for music and his letters to an old friend, Sameer Sharma, living in the bustling city of Mumbai. Despite the silence from Sameer's end, Pinto's faith never wavers. However, when his mother's sudden demise shatters his idyllic existence, Father Simon advises him to venture into the unknown, urging him to seek Sameer's help to find a career in the city of dreams, Mumbai. Oblivious to the labyrinth of complications awaiting him, Pinto embarks on a journey that is set to change his life forever. As Pinto steps into Mumbai, he finds himself caught in the whirlwind life of Sameer, weighed down by his demanding job, an ambitious wife, Suhani, on the verge of a major promotion, and the burdens of urban living. Sameer's world, a stark contrast to Pinto's simple life, is far from ready for this unexpected intrusion. Pinto's knack for finding trouble in the most surprising corners of life leads him into the underbelly of the city, where he encounters a motley group of characters. From gun-wielding gangsters and kidnappers to an enigmatic Caucasian woman named Maggie, and a washed-out movie star, Reshma Shergill, each character adds a new twist to his tale. As Pinto navigates through this maze, he finds himself on a roller-coaster ride of bizarre experiences and peculiar encounters. The question remains - will Pinto find Sameer and make a life in the city, or will his endearing naivety and eccentric antics prove too much for the metropolis to handle? In this heartwarming comedy of errors, witness the captivating journey of Pinto as he tries to survive the hustle and bustle of Mumbai, and in turn, gives the city a taste of his unique charm, in a story that is as unpredictable as the protagonist himself.
