Kittu is an arts student in Pune and is madly in love with actress and film star Malika.

His father, concerned with his son's declining exam scores, confronts Kittu on his obsession on learning of it from his daughter and later tears down every poster. To Kittu, this is almost as bad as murder, and decides to move out and travels to Mumbai, where the star, herself, lives.
