Synopsis
The story is about a man known only as 'K'(John Abraham), who is somewhere in his 30s and is a heavy chain-smoker. He is very confident in himself and very arrogant in nature. Catching hold of his smoking habit from a very young age, he hasn't looked back ever since. K is also revealed to have smoked spiked ganja(marijuana) and landed up in hospital due to it. His well-wishers have tried in vain to make him quit but to no avail. Both his friends Abbas Tyrewala(Ranvir Shorey) and the doctor who treats K's brother(played by Kiku Sharda), offer to set up an appointment at a rehabilitation center called 'Prayogshaala'('The Laboratory'), which they claim will rid K of his dreadful habit. K finally relents after his wife Anjali(Ayesha Takia) leaves him, unable to take the strain K's smoking places on their relationship.
K decides to check out Prayogshaala, and meets Shri Shri Prakash Guru Ghantal Baba Bengali Sealdahwale(Paresh Rawal), the man who is to save him. When he gets to Kalkatta Karpets, the front for the unconventional rehab center, his Labyrinth-esque adventure starts. The method Prayogshaala uses to cure their patients of their addiction is 'fear'. Each time a patient gives in to their vice, Baba makes sure that something shocking happens to them.
