Sunny Chopra is a 28-year-old writer who pens a popular agony-column for Times of Hindustan. He believes he is self-made and distrusts anything that doesn't fit his worldview. His cynicism extends to marriage, Diwali, and life in general.

On Diwali Eve, Sunny faces a pressing screenplay deadline and a long list of chores piled up at once. He plans to clear his schedule to keep everyone off his back, including his intrusive neighbor. He also wants to avoid his editor who is furious about his bunking work.

Pandey, Sunny's irritating next-door neighbor, keeps intruding with unsolicited advice and interruptions. Sunny wants to dodge him because he has too much to do and too little time. The encounter underscores Sunny's annoyance with social obligations during Diwali.

Sunny tries to dodge his editor, who refuses to accept his bunked day. The editor's calls escalate the pressure to deliver a finished screenplay. The tension helps set up Sunny's crowded evening.

Sunny's fiancée Jenny sits in the back of his plans as he contemplates a date with Maya, a South Indian superstar. He views marriage skeptically and wants to avoid distractions. The tension between duties and desires boils over as Diwali approaches.

Sunny has fixed a date with Maya, hoping to rekindle his long-standing crush. He idolizes her and imagines a life with her, while ignoring the practical consequences. The date remains a symbol of his longing for an escape from reality.

In the middle of the chaos, Sunny discovers his kitchen is empty and he has no food to eat. He realizes he must eat something before the deadline and before his mind spirals. This lack of provisions becomes the final trigger for ordering the pizza.

Sunny decides to order a pizza, hoping for a quick meal to salvage the night. He phones Mummy's Pizza but has no idea that this delivery will change his life. The order becomes the catalyst that sets the day on a different course.

Michael Burnett, a 51-year-old optimistic pizza delivery boy, recently landed the job and vows to keep it. He has a childlike outlook and a knack for losing jobs in two days, but this time he is determined to stay. He embodies contrast to Sunny's cynicism and sets up the encounter that will alter Sunny's view.

Michael arrives at Sunny's door with more than just a slice; his delivery carries life lessons instead of just food. The two men's conversation unfolds in the doorway, bridging a gap between cynicism and optimism. The delivery becomes a turning point for Sunny.

Michael's simple, optimistic perspective rubs off on Sunny, challenging his belief that success is solely earned. Sunny starts to see that life has positive possibilities he overlooked. The exchange hints at a broader celebration of Diwali’s spirit.

By the end of the day, Sunny's worldview has begun to shift. He reassesses his cynicism toward marriage, work, and the Diwali festival itself. The mysterious pizza delivery becomes a life-altering moment that reframes his day.
