A rich Delhi socialite dies, leaving behind a peculiar will. To inherit his estate, his wife Gurleen Rambal must confess to an infidelity and name the father of her only son, or face expropriation.
But, the gritty and honourable Gurleen spurns the will and loses all her wealth. Even her son
deserts her, but not before making her take a huge loan to help him settle in the US.
Down yet defiant, Gurleen begins life afresh as a taxi driver on the streets of Delhi where, not
long ago, she was driven around in her Bugatti and Rolls Royce. Just when she thinks the worst
is over, fate kicks her down again when she faces manslaughter charges for saving a foreign tourist from a lecherous taxi driver. An unusual friendship between Gurleen and inspector Chameli Singh gives her a new lease on life, and the two women gang up to win it all back for Gurleen. However, hurdles confront her at every turn, for her journey is cursed by the ancient blue sapphire locket that she carries with her at all times. Will the locket with the ancient spell, carried forward from the time of the last Maharajah of Punjab, Duleep Singh, son of Maharajah Ranjit Singh, hold the answers to all her troubles?
