Four friends wager a 500,000 dollar bet on the outcome of a cricket match. The friends were used to betting and winning. This time they lost to Mamta Sekri (Nandita Das), and she must be paid by any means necessary. She has her husband's friend teach the leader of the gang how to shoot a gun, and then requires him to kill. Mamta Sekri offers only one option, kill or be killed. The group decide that killing is a worthwhile endeavor. These four friends do nothing but compound their mistakes throughout this movie. In the new environment, they find excitement and the money they require to sustain the life they desire to live. Family and friends are sacrificed as their new endeavors take precedence. The Four Musketeers will soon find that there is no honor in the killing of another for personal gain. Mushy, Aryan, Paapad and Chicken all travel a road towards destruction, realizing the consequences of their actions and denying the toll it is taking on their friendship. In comparison to Mamta Sekri(Nandita Das), the Four Musketeers are weakened by the strength of an unprincipaled woman. A woman who also pay for the choices that she has made in life. The movie is long with many exchanges between the friends who will eventually become foes. This movie lives when Nandita Das is on screen, and then of course, the only thing a weak man can do is to kill a strong woman in his search for redemption.
