Good Luck!
Mumbai-based Saba Sharma lives a charmed life with a 'good luck' syndrome. Everything she does - whether it's work or play - is charmed and goes smoothly. After securing a meaty contract with Tarun Chopra, she is promoted by her boss, Kanchan Soni, and they celebrate with a masked party. It is here she meets with a male, Vicky Varma, dances with him and kisses him - thereby losing her luck. Shortly thereafter she not only gets arrested; gets lodged in a cell and slapped by a larger woman; but also gets fired. She moves in with a co-worker, Ritu, and both plan to locate the masked male, have Saba kiss him, and restore her good luck. But the question remains: how she is going to locate him?
