The film is the coming of age story of a young boy Dilsher (Vicky Kaushal) who loses his faith and develops a fear of music, and of his journey in fighting that fear and finding himself.

Plot

The story starts with the flashbacks of a young man, Dilsher (Vicky Kaushal) who grew up in a village in Gurdaspur, Punjab. His father used to sing in Gurudwaras, but after his death, Dilsher has had developed a fear of music. He instead grows up with a speech impairment due to which he has a tendency of stammering. He comes to Delhi to meet a businessman, Gurcharan "Guru" Sikand (Manish Choudhary), who is often referred to as the Lion of Gurdaspur. His apparent maternal uncle H.P. Mehta (Rajeev Gaur Singh) tells him that meeting Gurcharan is no ordinary thing to even imagine, let alone do. But this only fuels Dilsher's motivations to meet Gurcharan.

A flashback speaks of how, while being bullied by some of his schoolmates, Dilsher met a young man, Gurcharan Sikand, who told him about how life often becomes cruel to people, and how one should fight back with double the resistance. He even gives Dilsher a pen, which is symbolic of Gurcharan's own struggles, and his audacity to write his own destiny. Dilsher is encouraged to write his own destiny, and thus comes to Delhi after working hard for years.

At an initial stage, Dilsher befriends Tulsi Ram (Raj Sharma), the leader of a workforce employed in one of Gurcharan's projects, and learns more about Gurcharan from Tulsi Ram. Thereafter, he joins a security agency in hopes of getting to Kapoor Sikand Industries Limited, better known as KSIL, which is owned by Gurcharan. However, he lands a job at a music show somewhat, and notices a young girl, Amira (Sarah Jane Dias) dancing to a song.

A bouncer, Yadav, is assigned duty at KSIL for the next day. Dilsher begs Yadav to swap positions with him, but Yadav mocks Dilsher for being too enthusiastic, verily questioning his own sensibilities. As part of a last straw, Dilsher injures Yadav when the latter is at a local gym, and Yadav is hospitalized. Dilsher announces himself as a substitute for Yadav, and that very day, while trying to settle an agreement between Tulsi Ram's workforce and Gurcharan's son Surya Sikand (Raaghav Chanana), he eventually manages to meet Gurcharan, and reminds him of the pen he gave him. Surprised that a stranger would have known him better than his family, Gurcharan is rendered nostalgic, and begins playing a CD of the songs he used to hear in Gurdaspur days.

Tulsi Ram is given a hefty sum to arrange for the MBA studies of his sons. The sum is delivered over by Gurcharan via Dilsher, who uncannily and sinisterly puts a hidden sum in the same red bag. Sometime later, Dilsher decides to leave his maternal uncle and shifts his entire luggage into the construction site at an exact location where Tulsi Ram works. Surya is angry over this and screams loudly at Dilsher, but much to Surya's shock, Gurcharan orders his assistant Ajmani (Chittaranjan Tripathy) to arrange a room beside Ajmani's room in Gurcharan's own estate after he learns that he was ousted by Mehta, who happens to be a name allergic to Gurcharan, after learning that Dilsher was working at KSIL.

During this time, Surya takes Dilsher to a party, where he meets Amira for the first time. She happens to be Surya's friend, but when Surya tries to mock Dilsher, Amira rebukes Surya for his disgusting behaviour. Amira later mentions an event named Dhruvtara, which Surya proclaims he will attend, but Amira refuses, citing that Dhruvtara is only for people who have been close friends to her and Dhruv. Dilsher scans the place, which seems absurd to him, and has a few moments with the drunk and high Amira, but she falls asleep before Dilsher can speak anything. Just as he happens to exit the place, Dilsher is attacked by a few thugs sent by Surya who threaten Dilsher, asking him to leave the estate.

Dilsher visits Amira in the meantime, bringing some bananas for her, and learns that she is preparing for Dhruvtara. Both of them go high on alcohol, and the next morning, Amira discovers Dilsher singing. She falls asleep, and wakes up soon, only to end up stopping Dilsher, who however admits that he is not interested in singing. Amira then reveals that he does not stammer while singing, which soon compels Dilsher to recall his childhood with his father.

Seeing how much Dilsher knows about him, Gurcharan bonds up quickly with him, giving him a higher preference over Surya everywhere, much to the chagrin of Surya's mother Mandira "Mandy" Sikand (Meghna Malik). Mandy orders Gurcharan to fire Dilsher because Surya doesn't like him, but it falls on deaf ears. However, Dilsher still remains loyal to Gurcharan, who has a high regard for him as he has grown to nearly consider Dilsher his own son. That night, after an argument between Mandy and Gurcharan is stopped, Dilsher is brutally attacked by some goons who seem to have been sent, as usually suspected, by Surya. However, this time, Dilsher challenges Surya in the eye, vowing that he will become a big man, and that Surya has nothing worth being like his father. A broken Surya then ceases communication with Gurcharan, who is already angry with him for having sent goons against Dilsher.

Dilsher meets Amira again, this time on his own and in person. He learns that Dhruv was Amira's brother, who for a reason did not like Surya, but was very reactive and aggressive when drunk. During a party, he accidentally fell off into a swimming pool and blood started flowing out from his head. After a few days, Gurcharan hosts a party where the Les Twins are to perform. Dilsher tries to apologize to Surya, but leaves him alone in the weak moment. Meanwhile, Gurcharan goes furious when he notices Mehta at the party, trying to meet with Mandy, who but warns Gurcharan against creating a scene, and he leaves in disgust.

Dilsher is confronted by Gurcharan and soon reveals that he was the one who injured Yadav to meet him, and Gurcharan, in turn, reveals a number of truths to him : Surya is actually Mandy's son with Mehta, and that Mehta actually belonged earlier to the Kapoor family from KSIL, something which is why he doesn't love Surya and Mandy because Gurcharan saw his efforts being credited to the undeserving. However, Dilsher is devastated to learn that the goons that day were actually sent by Gurcharan, and not Surya. After a lengthy conversation, Dilsher realizes that KSIL is not the place for him. Instead, he picks up at Amira during her performance with the dancer duo. As the song ends, the two share a kiss.

Recalling through another flashback how his father developed a speech impairment that led to his banishment from the Gurudwara and ultimately desolation resulting in suicide, Dilsher finally lets go of it all as he realizes the lesson Amira gave him on music and life. He leaves Gurcharan for a new life, thus also incriminating Gurcharan with Surya and Mandy. Although he is arrested and imprisoned upon arrival in Gurdaspur under charges pressed by Gurcharan, he is soon released, and writes a message to Amira, finally reuniting with her in the end.
