Sunny, a 15 a-year old boy is at school, singing with his friends and generally making an ass of himself. when he goes for his winter vacation to his house inPune. There we are introduced to Rocky, his multimillionaire father's manager who owes Rs 1 million to "Sultan bhai" ofMultan. When his father who himself is no slouch when it comes to chasing skirts goes toLondon on some business, he leaves his son some blank cheques in case there is an emergency. Rocky needs money, not only to pay off the debt, but also to make a movie with his model girlfriend Rubina. Payal also needs money to pay for her boyfriend's medical expenses.
Rocky promises to pay her the money if she can trap his boss' son. Payal then moves into Sunny's neighbourhood to seduce him. Sunny, is treated to watch Payal inbikini, in a very revealing dress soaping her car, in bubbles luxuriating in her bathtub and in other such enlightening poses. Soon, the two get introduced and Sunny gets the opportunity to rub her back and later, get her in the sack (later, Payal informs Sunny that they didn't havesex; he was just too drunk to remember anything. That way everyone's chastity is maintained). After having 'sex' with him Payal plays dead. A panicky Sunny goes to Rocky and tells him what happened. Rocky then goes to the lovely neighbour's house, wraps a dummy in a sheet and tells Sunny to bury it. He also deftly clicks some snaps of Sunny burying the 'body'.
Soon Sunny gets a courier from a blackmailer threatening to expose him if he doesn't cough up Rs 10 million. Sunny has no option but to use his father's blank cheques. But somewhere down the line, Payal gets guilt pangs and tells Sunny the truth. The rest of the movie is then about Sunny and Payal who wants to do pashchatap and recovering the money from Rocky.
