Writing partners Dulal and Mainak dream of shaking up the Bollywood film industry in India with their script. When they're being rejected by producers who refuse to read their script, they lurk around bookstores and poetry slams shamelessly hitting on girls. They find some hope when the drug addled, cat-obsessed Gonzo Kapoor, the son of a famous B movie producer, hires them to write an art house film billed as "Tarkovsky with orgies" for his directorial debut. All seems well until Dulal meets Ruma, a beautiful photographer who makes him question his choice to sell out.

Excerpt from ‘Romancing With Life’:

When I went to bid farewell to King Mahendra after the seven-day stint of celebration, I didn’t have to wait long.

‘If you allow me to say, your majesty . . . I have a story idea in my mind that has just cropped up, that could only happen in Nepal. Of a movie that represents a new world phenomenon, the young, reckless people,’ I said.

‘You mean the ______?’

‘Yes, your majesty. It is a great thought for a film, and I want to make it here,’ I sought his reaction.

‘Go ahead. Is your script ready?’ He was equally receptive.

‘The script is all here, inside,’ I said, tapping my forehead. ‘With your encouragement, it shall be on paper quickly.’
