Two. An interesting number. Two sides of a coin, two halves in a day, two ways to look at life, two guys in this story...and two hours in which to tell it. Two hours that tell the story of a day in the life of two opposites..

Raghav Shastri (Nana Patekar), an Insurance Salesman to the world, but a caustic, instinctively witty cabbie in reality, who needs thirty thousand rupees by the end of today and Jai Mittal (John Abraham), the equally acidic heir to a resourceful business family, who needs a bit more. Three hundred crore actually.

Also by the end of the day. Jai needs to contest his father's will in court.. and Raghu's cab to get there. Raghu needs every rich sucker he can get as passenger.....So the two meet. And a predictable cab ride kicks off a roller-coaster journey that leaves you laughing in a most unlikely place.. the edge of your seat. Because on either side of the seat that divides them are our two problems. Two attitudes, two egos, and two distinctive brands of humor.
