In this Bollywood drama directed by Madhur Bhandarkar, the lives of four strangers intersect in surprising ways at an urban traffic signal, where each of them tries to make a living. Silsila (Kunal Khemu) is the signal "manager," who collects protection money; Rani (Neetu Chandra) sells clothes while Noorie (Konkona Sen Sharma) sells her body; and Dominic (Ranvir Shorey), a drug addict, seems to have given up on work altogether.
