Orphaned siblings Pari and Chotu live with an aunt and uncle who are not always the best caregivers. Ten-year-old Pari assumes the role of mother, guide and best friend to her eight-year-old brother, who lost his eyesight when he was four. The only things the two disagree on are their favourite film stars: Pari's hero is Shah Rukh Khan, while Chotu prefers Salman Khan. After spotting a poster of Shah promoting eye donation, Pari believes she has found a way to restore Chotu's eyesight. When they hear a rumor that the actor is filming in a neighboring city, the children set out on a journey of hope that will change their lives forever.

Notes to parents: Some coarse language, very brief hookah and alcohol use by adults, threats of violence, kidnapping of children, children hitchhiking, sleeping pills administered to children without their knowledge, and a gun pointed at a person. Still, this is an uplifting and joyous film with a very happy ending.
