Plot

Indira Gupta a.k.a. "Indoo" is a girl living in Ghaziabad. She is in a relationship with Satish for the past year, who wants to have sex with her. Indoo always refuses as she thinks they should do it only after marriage. Indoo's best friend is Sonal, a knowledgeable girl. Indoo always consults Sonal and follows her advice whenever she is confused. As Indoo is beautiful, all men living nearby want to have sexual intercourse with her, including those as young as high school students and as old as her father.

Meanwhile, two terrorists from Pakistan are hiding in Ghaziabad after shooting a police officer in the arm. The police issue a wanted order for them on TV channels, and as they do not know the terrorists' faces yet, the only clue given is that they are Pakistani.

Sonal convinces Indoo to have sex with Satish for practice and to find out if he has any sexual problems. Without telling Satish in advance, Indoo visits him the next day to have sex with him for the first time, only to find Satish sleeping with another married woman, Alka. Due to the betrayal, Indoo breaks up with him. Sonal pins the blame for Satish's betrayal on Indoo for refusing to have sex with him and also persuades Indoo to have a one-night stand to practice sex. Following her advice, Indoo finds a partner on a dating app, Dinder, and fixes a date with him in her house while her family is away for a week.
