Akash è un pianista cieco molto dotato. Si sta preparando per un concorso a Londra e per parteciparvi ha bisogno di una somma consistente di denaro. Per questo motivo dà lezioni di musica. Casualmente incontra una ragazza, Sophie che gestisce con suo padre un ristorante. La ragazza fa un'audizione ad Akash ed apprezza così tanto il suo talento da offrirgli un lavoro nel suo locale. Akash ha ora un lavoro che gli fa avvicinare sempre più la competizione londinese. Una serata, durante una sua performance, viene notato da Pramod Sinha, attore di Bollywood che ha da tempo abbandonato le scene per dedicarsi ad un'attività immobiliare.
