The story of a lazy Mumbai college student who does absolutely nothing, with a turn of events will Sid realize his potential in this world and become a success in the fast-paced life of Mumbai.
In Mumbai, Sid Mehra is, in the words of his father, an arrogant, spoiled brat. He lives with a doting mother, subservient brother, and a father who covers his expenses and credit card bills. Sid takes his college finals then starts work at his father's business; he lasts less than a week before walking out. At a graduation party, he meets Aisha, newly arrived from Calcutta and set on becoming a writer. He shows her the city and helps her refurbish a rented flat. He asks if she'd like to progress from friend to something more, but she says no: he lacks ambition and isn't her type. Will her words, his exam results, a confrontation with his parents, and a break with his friends be enough to wake Sid up?—<[email protected]>
Ram Mehra used to live in a shanty Chawl in Jogeshwari, Bombay, but worked hard, married Sarita, opened his own business ('Mehra Furnishings Company'), became the parent of Sidharth, and moved to a bungalow in Juhu. He and Sarita had hoped that Sidharth would be good in his studies and eventually take over the business; but, instead, Sidharth turned out to be a slacker failing his final year exams and rude to his mother. Asked to shape up, Sidharth moves out to live with his new-found friend, Aisha Banerjee, a woman fresh from Kolkata who has just landed a job with Mumbai Beats magazine (and is in love with her boss, Kabir Chaudhary). She permits Sidharth to live with her but ends up frustrated when she realizes he cannot cook nor clean up after himself and is very childish and immature. With daily arguments ensuing between the two, it will not be long before Sidharth may have to move out again - but where will Sidharth (with all doors closed in on him) move out to now?—rAjOo ([email protected])
Sid is a quintessentially Mumbai slacker boy - wealthy, lazy and completely lacking in focus. An unexpected meeting with Aisha, a driven, bold and ambitious writer from Calcutta, results in summer of discoveries, realizations and coming of age.

Siddharth "Sid" Mehra (Ranbir Kapoor) is a gifted, talented, super qualified Brainiac, yet an extremely lazy and carefree college student in his early twenties living in Mumbai. He hates school and he can't even bother to study and try to understand the concept of his courses (all of which he gets poor grades in). His imagination, creativity and talent for art (especially photography) are often disregarded and ignored. Depicted as a spoiled, lazy slacker, Sid shows little concern for his plans after graduating, just barely studying for tests the night before and having no interest in working. His father, Ram Mehra (Anupam Kher) is a wealthy tycoon who wants his son Sid to excel while his mother Sarita (Supriya Pathak) is a housewife often frustrated by Sid's incompetence yet puts up with behavior, ending up pampering him.
While writing his final exam in the exam hall, Sid struggles throughout the entire duration of the exam, nervously unsure of each question whereas all of his classmates including his best friends confidently progress through their test papers, having intensely studied long and hard in advance. Sid imagines some classmates insulting and demoralizing him, while his friends give him words of encouragement. Hoping to answer enough questions correctly to at least pass, Sid feels confident to finish his test. Right after the exams are over, Sid and his friends go out on a shopping spree across the city for a day of fun. Sid takes his college finals then starts work at his father's business; he lasts less than a week before walking out.
At the farewell party after the final exams, Sid meets Aisha (Konkona Sen Sharma), an aspiring writer recently moved away from her hometown of Calcutta, who happens to be one of his college mate's roommate. They decide to go for a small walk and strike a chord instantly. With the help of Sid, Aisha finds a small apartment overlooking the city skyline. She also lands a job at Mumbai Beat (based on Time Out! Mumbai), a hip magazine run by editor-in-chief Kabir (Rahul Khanna), to whom Aisha is instantly attracted. Sid asks if Aisha would like to progress from friend to something more; she says no - he lacks ambition and isn't her type.
When the final exam results come out a few weeks later, much to his misery, Sid learns that he failed while the rest of his classmates (including his friends) aced the exams with great-to-decent grades, this delaying his graduation for at least another year. Sid displaces his anger and frustration onto Rishi and goes home to sulk. He then gets angry at parents, ending with him hastily moving out after an extremely upset, livid blowout. Sid sets off to the apartment that he helped Aisha renovate. Aisha allows Sid to temporarily stay at her apartment but finds him disorganized and careless with her home. One night, Aisha loses her temper and berates Sid for his inability to look after himself. The next morning, Sid confides in Aisha that he now realizes his constant dependence on his father's wealth, a realization that persuades him to seek work. Aisha helps him land a job as a photography intern - photography has been an interest of his since childhood - at Mumbai Beat.
The internship slowly motivates Sid to be more responsible, hardworking, and productive. He helps out with chores, an internal change visible to all around him. He reconciles with Rishi when they meet again for the first time since their falling out. Sid eventually gets hired full-time at Mumbai Beat and receives his first paycheck. He immediately goes to visit his father for the first time in months to show him the paycheck and he nostalgically asks Sid to return home. In the meantime, Aisha and Kabir start dating, but she quickly realizes that, despite her initial attraction to him, they have very little in common. Aisha also dislikes Sid's closeness with the designing intern Tanya (Kainaz Motivala). This leads Aisha to develop feelings for Sid, and on the day he packs his belongings to move back in with his family, she is furious and heartbroken to hear that he is leaving. Confused and hurt, unaware that Aisha has fallen in love with him, Sid makes his departure.
Back at home, Sid keeps thinking about Aisha. He discovers that he has brought Aisha's shirt with his belongings. Sid wears her shirt and reminisces about her while Aisha at her home speaks to her parents as she feels lonely after Sid's departure. The next morning, Sid receives the latest issue of Mumbai Beat. He reads Aisha's column, an article describing her adjustment to life in Mumbai and her love for an unnamed person. Realizing that the article is about her feelings for him, Sid rushes through rainy weather to meet her at the seafront where they walked the day they met. Sid expresses his love for her and the two embrace.
