The film starts off with Joseph “Joe” Mascarenhas (Arjun Rampal) being introduced to the audience. Joe is now a judge at a successful reality show and the working partner of Club Bar & Blues, where he often meets his other friend from the band Magik, Kedar Zaveri (Purab Kohli), better known as Killer Drummer, or KD. As the story goes on, KD narrates how Aditya “Adi” Shroff (Farhan Akhtar), Magik's lead singer, left the city and its comforts due to a nightmare haunting him and a painful experience, and has been living for 5 years in a small village near Shillong, Meghalaya.
