Plot

Smitten by the glamor of Mumbai, two friends, Benny and Babloo land up in distinctly different jobs: Benny as the bellboy of a five-star hotel, and Babloo as a waiter in a ladies service bar.

Benny believes his job is better than Babloo's and repeatedly ridicules him. Benny's pride fades away as they both realize that, although their jobs may look different viewed from the outside, they're quite similar seen from the inside.

Benny witnesses several criminal activities at the hotel, from drug abuse to political scandal, while Babloo sees the human side of the ladies bar. In the end, the truth stares them in the face that five-star hotels are the moral juniors to ladies bars
