The film deals with honour killings, MMS scandals, and sting operations &ndash; three regular phenomena on news channels &ndash; in three subplots with the respective titles Love, Sex and Dhokha. Shot with a digital camera, the film explores each theme with dramatic exposition and sarcastic tones to parody the media's role in trivializing important social issues of the day. The three stories based on the three themes intermingle in unexpected ways. The first, Superhit Pyar, is about a young man Rahul (Angshuman Jha) obsessed with Bollywood who decides to make his own small-budget film. He falls in love with the lead actress, a young woman Shruti (Nushrat Bharucha) from a rich but orthodox family from Delhi. When Shruti's family rejects their relationship, they elope. On their honeymoon, they call Shruti's family to try and make them come around, with disastrous consequences. The second story, Paap Ki Dukaan<em>,</em> revolves around a young woman Rashmi (Neha Chauhan) who works in a local supermarket and ends up being an unwitting part of a sex tape made by a co-worker Aadarsh (Rajkummar Rao) to clear his debts. The final story, Badnaam Shohorat,<em> </em>is about a news reporter Prabhat (Amit Sial) who gets together with a small-time dancer Naina (Arya Banerjee) and tries to set up a local music icon so that his casting couch can be caught on tape. Prabhat is desperate for a groundbreaking story and a bonus. But complications arise and he is left in shock by Naina's betrayal.
