Sheetal (Priya Banerjee) lives with her parents and has an aggressive boss (Pankaj Arora), who makes a move on her every other day. The four meet for a movie and discuss their lives. On their way home, they encounter a scientist, Dr. Bhama (Tom Alter), who tells them the world is about to end as a giant meteorite is headed to destroy earth. First, they laugh it off, but believe him once they see it on his computer.
The next day, they are summoned by Inspector Pratap (Narendra Jha) as Bhama is missing and was last seen with the four of them. They share their encounter with him, but Pratap does not believe them. It is night by the time they leave the police station and head to the nearest club. They decide to enjoy whatever is left of their lives.

They reach Goa and book the most expensive hotel. While in Goa, Rahul and Sheetal profess their love for each other while Asse and Sunny do the same.
When two days remain until the end, they head to the beach. They ride jet skis and para sails.
