The film shows Samaira in a supporting role while Dhaniti Parekh plays the main lead. The film is a feel-good story about a young poor girl from Mumbai who helps her mother make ends meet by selling pencils and erasers. However, she has dreams of becoming a sprinter and playing for the country. On a chance encounter, she competes against Samaira, Jahaan and Dhaniti as they train and beats them. The well-to-do star kids help the poor girl to buy shows and encourage her to live her dream.
