Karthik Narayan(Akhtar) is a simple, unassuming guy who just can’t help being bullied. You could say that he has very little sense of self, or various neuroses which consume his sleeping hours – whatever it is, Karthik has it bad. He’s got an aggressive landlord who hounds him for money, a nasty boss who won’t give him rightful credit, and co-workers who dismiss him as a loser.

But life changes for Karthik when he starts getting self-affirming telephone calls from someone who claims to be . . . himself. This telephone Karthik seems confident and assured and gives loser Karthik advice which helps transform his life. The landlord is now subservient, the boss applauds him, and Shonali Mukherjee (Padukone), the stunning co-worker who doesn’t know Karthik exists, suddenly wants to be his girlfriend! Will this wonderful life last, or is it just another trick of fate ? . . .
