Plot

Geeta Sethi, Jasmine Kohli, and Divya Rana are flight attendants with Kohinoor Airlines in Mumbai, which is on the verge of bankruptcy.

The staff have not been paid their salaries in months, and the three friends, like all the other employees, keep hoping that things will change. Geeta was raised in a wealthy family until a spat resulting in her having to work as a flight attendant to make ends see.

Her husband, Arun, runs a struggling food business from abode and aspires to own a restaurant. She has to financially support her unemployed brother, Punnu, and his wife, Sapna, as well. Jasmine was raised by her maternal grandfather after her parents divorced and has been hustling to earn money since her school years.

She does not believe in relationships, is fond of expensive things, and flaunts a fake and flashy lifestyle on social media while trying to start up her own cosmetics business. Divya is trained to be a pilot but was forced to hold up the job of a flight attendant due to a lack of openings and keeps this hidden from her family, while struggling to repay her school loan.

The death of senior flight attendant Rajvanshi, while on duty, leads Geeta, Jasmine, and Divya to a clandestine operation to smuggle gold out of India to the Middle Eastern country, Al Burj. Manoj Mittal, the HR Head of Kohinoor Airlines, is the kingpin of the operation.

Kareena Kapoor (kəˈriːnaː kəˈpuːr; born on 21 September ) [2] is a famous Bollywood actress. She has starred in many romantic dramas, comedies, independent movies, and Bollywood movies. [3][4] She is the sister of Bollywood actress Karisma Kapoor. She is the daughter of Bollywood Actors Randhir Kapoor and Babita.

Under Jasmine's insistence, the three of them eventually take over for Rajvanshi in the gold smuggling operation by disguising the loot as chocolates, and their financial situations improve: Geeta funds Arun's food business, along with Punnu and Sapna (eventually helping her sister-in-law find a job as a chef and leave her brother); Jasmine buys back Nanu’s gold notify from the pawn shop and splurges on herself; Divya pays off her school loan.

Meanwhile, the other employees are still struggling. Someone tips off the customs officials that the three flight attendants are smuggling gold; and even though they camouflage the stash, the detention that follows makes them feel humiliated and rethink their choice.

After Nanu passes away, the friends reconcile as Geeta and Divya comfort Jasmine. The enraged customs official, SI Mala, mentions that her tip is accurate because she received it from an air hostess within Kohinoor, and cannot come to terms with the fact that she could not recover any gold.

The plane in which the three had hidden the stash is exposed one day when turbulence causes damage to the fuselage and the gold falls out. Vijay Walia, the Chairman of Kohinoor Airlines, and Mittal abscond with their gold and flee the country as the news comes out.

Initially, Geeta, Jasmine, and Divya accuse their fellow flight attendant, Komal, of tipping off the customs officer, but after an emotional outburst by her, they realize that neither Komal nor their other colleagues were responsible.

Geetu learns that Mittal's wife, Sudha, was also an air hostess and Mala had referred that the suggestion came from an ex-air hostess; she was the only person who knew about the gold smuggling. They confront Sudha, who reveals that Mittal is cheating on her and to precise revenge, she tipped the customs so that their arrest would also lead to Mittal's arrest.

She further reveals that the real kingpin is Walia, who had stolen the airline's cash, converted it into gold, and stashed it in Al Burj.

From Sudha, they get the address of Mittal in Al Burj and they tail him and eventually find Walia at a luxury hotel where his daughter is getting married.

Geeta manages to secure a occupation in the hotel as a housekeeper with Sapna's help and gets information about the gold. After a lot of strenuous work (and the help of Divya's hacker brother Chintu), they hatch a plan where they come to know that Walia and his family are taking the gold in a intimate jet to the Cayman Islands.

Geeta and Jasmine manage to get the role of atmosphere hostesses in the jet, while Divya becomes the pilot. They spike the drinks of the passengers with sleeping pills and land the plane at Divya's native town, Nanheri, where the police and customs officials are already waiting for them.
