In college Raj Malhotra was numero uno. In academics, sports, dramatics and touted as the next cover of Time magazine. But four years after winning the best-student-of-the-year trophy from his architectural college, he’s wondering why a brilliant architect like him, with designs to set the Canadian landscape on fire, is still struggling to find that One Big Chance to showcase his mettle. It’s almost as though some negative kismat is following him around because whenever something good is about to happen, it seems doomed to fail. Why else would his alarm refuse to ring, his shower stop midway, his car refuse to start, just when he’s in a tearing hurry to reach a crucial meeting on time? The end result is the same? The deal is dead or the client is dead! Desperate to fight this cussed kismat that’s hell bent on playing such mean tricks on him, Raj meets a quirky oracle, Hasina Bano Jaan. She tells him that soon his stars will change his stars and make everything work in his favor; but for all this to happen, Raj has first to find his lucky charm and never let go of it. But she tells him no more, leaving Raj mystified, trying to figure out what this charm could be. Suddenly his life seems to be on the right track. He’s managed to impress top builder Sanjeev Gill, into giving him a prestigious project? Priya is a tough-talking, tough-decision taking girl with a heart of gold. She is an idealist who is intent on making the world a better, more humane place and is quite willing to fight a lone battle for it. She is a doer who believes in action. Life for her is clearly colored in blacks and whites. Shades of gray have no role for her. She will give her all to her causes, her people and her love and expect nothing less in return. Raj even succeeds in persuading pretty Priya that he’s the Messiah who can save her beloved Community Center from destruction? And also opened her eyes to her philandering fiancĂ©. Raj even manages to thwart the evil designs of old-college-foe-turned-deadly-professional- enemy Dave Kataria? Does this mean that Raj has unwittingly discovered his lucky charm? Has lady luck finally decided to smile on him? Where will his new found kismet ultimately lead Raj? To the height of love or pinnacle of success?
