Loosely inspired by the life of South Indian actress Silk Smitha, the film follows Reshma (Vidya Balan) , a runaway who crashes into the film industry. She renames herself "Silk" and rises to become the ultimate sex symbol of the 1980s. The movie tracks her meteoric rise, her toxic relationships (with Naseeruddin Shah, Emraan Hashmi, and Tusshar Kapoor), and her tragic, lonely downfall.
