Madhuri plays Dia, a girl from the small hamlet of Shamli. She has followed her love, which tore her away from her town, but now the man behind her decision is no more. Dia lives in New York with her daughter, Radha, when she gets a phone call. Her guruji in Shamli is dying, and she decides to return.

Dia's return isn't a happy one. Her guru has passed away, and the Ajanta theatre -- the energetic cultural hub of the town -- is now defunct and nearly dead. Dia can't stand this, and decides to lead a revival. With the help of Doctor (Raghubir Yadav), the Ajanta caretaker, Dia outlines her goal: to bring Ajanta theatre back from extinction.

With politicians wanting to demolish the theatre -- Ajanta is built on a rather peachy plot of real estate -- Dia realises a revival can't be merely born out of spirit, and decides to stage a theatre production.

A play starring the residents of Shamli. A great idea, but is there enough material to work with?

Konkona Sen Sharma plays Anokhi, a mercurial and profane young girl with a constantly runny nose. She'd be great on stage, except she can't sing, or dance.

Kunal Kapoor is Imran, the local ruffian. He's never felt the need to dance and looks down at such unmanly pursuits. Dia, however, casts him as her play's leading man -- which means he has to both dance and woo. Oops.

Tthen there's Mohan Sharma, played by Ranvir Shorey. Nursing heartbreak ever since Dia left Shamli, the cafe owner feels helpless again with the lady's comeback. Now he does want to help Dia, but wonders if staying too close to her is the smartest idea.

The rest of the gang isn't exactly stage-star material either: Vinay Pathak plays Mr Chojar, a sycophantic government official. Akhilendra Mishra plays Choudhary Om Singh, a local ex-MLA wanting to piggyback onto Dia's popularity. Jugal Hansraj is Sanjeev Mehta, an accountant without a clue about dancing. And Yashpal Sharma plays Mohan's friend and town cop SHO Singh, trying hard to save his buddy from heartbreak.
