The Transparent
Rajeev Malhotra (Sachin Khedekar) is returning to his home to be with his pregnant wife Ankita (Prachi Shah). On flight he befriends Charles (Zakhir Hussain) unaware that he is a smuggler. Charles uses Rajeev to smuggle diamonds into Mumbai as he was himself on the watch-list of Mumbai customs. Rajeev was going to meet his pregnant wife in Hospital. Ankita gives birth to twin boys. At birth the twins were joint at the arms and were separated, so they share reflexes (which is a one in 80 Lakh phenomenon), and Raja was the strong one and Prem weak. The doctor also predicted as one becomes weak, the other will become stronger. Charles comes to congratulate him at their house. But Rajeev comes to know about him and calls the police. In the ensuing mishap Charles runs away with one of the twins whom he leaves on the railway tracks. Due to the reflex action when the twin in the hospital rolls on his side, the twin on the tracks also rolls on his side and as a result falls off the tracks and is saved from the oncoming train. Police arrest Charles but he claims the kid died in a blast that Charles engineered. Charles is arrested and is sentenced to twenty-two years in prison. Charles vows revenge against Rajeev, through his Mama (Manoj Joshi). The police advise Malhotra to take his wife and Prem and leave India. Rajeev Malhotra shifts to London with Ankita and his son Prem (Varun Dhawan) for safety reasons, whereas the other twin is found by a woman named Kashibai and she raises him as her son in Mumbai, and names him Raja (Varun Dhawan). Prem has grown up to be a kind and gentle Christian boy who aspires to be a musician. He is thrashed and bullied by an upperclassman, Rocky (Vikas Verma), on his first day of college and is pitied by Samaira. Samaira (Taapsee Pannu) becomes his only friend. Samaira is impressed by Prem's musical talents and asks him to come to her house and teach her music. Rocky warns Prem that Samaira is off limits as she belongs to him. At the same time, Raja has grown up to be a fun-loving young man and staunch devotee of Ganpati Bappa, growing alongside his friend Nandu in the slums. Raja beats up a mafia's son Alex (Vivan Bhatena) at a Bappa ceremony, when Alex harasses Raja's son Nandu. Raja is advised to leave the country. He enlists help of Pappu Passport (Johnny Lever) to escape to London. Pappu also gives the contact of his friend Sharafat Ali, who will get Raja and Nandu a job and a place to live as well. Raja meets Alishka Bakshi (Jacqueline Fernandez) on the plane and falls in love with her. Officer Dhillon (Pavan Malhotra) is after Raja as he is an illegal immigrant in UK. Raja and Nandu get a job as Pizza delivery boys at Sharafat's restaurant. When Dhillon questions Alishka, she learns that Raja is an illegal immigrant. Raja manages to escape every time he is caught, by telling a sob story of his family back home. Now that Raja and Prem are both in London and are in close proximity to each other, their reflexes start operating simultaneously, and this creates a lot of confusion for the both of them and their girlfriends. They are also mistaken for each other by many people in the city. Meanwhile Prem and Samaira are friends, but Samaira's mom Manmeet (Upasana Singh) is after her to ensnare Prem in her love. Raja kisses Alishka, and by reflex Prem kisses Samaira. Raja starts dating Alishka and Prem begins dating Samaira.
