Akash (Ayushmann Khurrana) is a blind and talented pianist in search of inspiration. He spends his time fervently attempting to complete a musical piece which is an example of his finest art. The only people seemingly aware of his innocuous presence initially are a neighbouring kid who keeps testing him in attempts to see if he is truly blind, and a pet cat named Rani.

Akash is knocked over while crossing the road one day by Sophie (Radhika Apte) whose father owns a diner. Sophie is awed by Akash's talent and gets him a gig at the diner where he is noticed by yesteryear actor Pramod Sinha (Anil Dhawan). Pramod is seemingly married blissfully to Simi (Tabu) and to commemorate their wedding anniversary, invites Akash over for a private concert to his apartment. Sophie drops him back to his flat, whereupon it is revealed that Akash can see, as he watches Sophie drive away. Sophie is oblivious to this, however, and the two develop a relationship.

When Akash reaches Pramod Sinha's flat, Simi opens the door and is reluctant to let him in, but does so when she sees that her neighbour is watching the exchange. Simi is convinced Akash is blind and allows him to play the piano inside. Akash begins, but immediately notices a body nearby. He is forced to continue to play the piano as if he is unaware of this fact however, given that he is blind.

Akash excuses himself and goes to the bathroom whereupon he sees Inspector Manohar (Manav Vij) hiding but is forced to act as if he is unaware of him, since he is assumed to be blind. On his return to the piano, he manages to identify the body as that of Pramod Sinha. Simi and Manohar (who were lovers) clean the body up silently and put it in a suitcase to be disposed off while Akash resumes playing the piano - supposedly unaware.
