Plot summary
Ashok Lalwani, called Lali, is unhappy at home with a wife who gives her time to God. Kamaldheer Sharma, or KD, has stayed unmarried. Harishankar Goyal, known as Pinky, keeps his feelings for a young Chinese woman to himself; she speaks only English, and he has no education to tell her. The three plan a holiday in Mauritius to enjoy what their younger days did not allow. There they meet Ahana Bakshi, absorbed in social media and annoyed that other influencers collect more Facebook likes and that a former boyfriend praises their posts while condemning her. Lali, KD and Pinky try to win her attention, pretending to admire the collections she makes from odd materials such as animal body parts.
