The story begins in a bustling Irani café, reminiscent of Koolers in King’s Circle (Mumbai), during mid-morning. Regular patrons are there for their usual bun maska and chai.
Our protagonists -Vicky and Wasim, two unassuming men, enter the café one after the other. Vicky a man in his mid 40s/50s settles down in the café with an air of control and familiarity in the café. One tell by the welcome he gets from the owner and waiters that he weel liked and a regular at the café. Soon, Wasim, a young strapping man in his 20s enters the café and joins Vicky bhai. During the course of their interaction its very evident Wasim is clearly looking to impress Vicky bhai, his mentor.
They settle down with their bun maska and chai. As they chat and people-watch, soon their conversation takes an unexpected turn. Vicky bhai tests Wasim by pointing out various customers and asking how he would neutralize or kill them. The targets range from a “khadoos” and rude businessman to an effeminate wealthy rich teenager. As Wasim responds with rather graphic ways of how he would eliminate them, it is revealed to the audience reveal that they are local hitmen, discussing their "work" in a casual, humorous and very matter of fact tone.
Finally, a sweet, girl-next-door type comes in for a parcel. As she places her order and settles down on a bench while it is readied, Vicky points out to her and asks Wasim how he would eliminate her. Completely to Vicky’s surprise, Wasim reveals the girl and he are in love and that he could never even think of hurting her ever. He goes on to share his plans of how he plans to marry her once her family issues are settled. Vicky bhai at first listens to him patiently but then finally asks Wasim to forget all these romantic plans and slides a phone across on the table with the girl’s picture saying- “She's your first assignment.”
