Sulochana Dubey aka Sullu (Vidya Balan) is a Virar-based middle-class housewife living with her family. She and her husband, Ashok Dubey (Manav Kaul) have a happy life with their 11-year old son Pranav (Abhishek Sharma). She wants to be a working woman but being a school-dropout; she cannot do any of the white collar jobs. Her 2 elder twin sisters are always critical of her achievements and ridicule her business ideas that failed. She likes to participate in contests and always wins some prize or the other. Ashok is a manager in a tailoring company. The job is frustrating because other than him the other workers are elderly, including the owners. They are all unreasonable and unresponsive.
One day, Sullu wins a contest by her favorite radio station and she receives a call from RJ Albeli (RJ Malishka). Upon request by Albeli, Sullu sings a retro song that the people at the radio station find funny. She has won a pressure cooker and she is told to pick it up from the radio station. When she visits the radio station, she observes an ad calling candidates to apply for the post of RJ. She asks for the form and is initially ridiculed by Albeli and the receptionist. Albeli takes her to her boss Maria (Neha Dhupia), who gives Sullu her card after a hilarious audition. Sullu has to speak seductively over the mike for the audition. Once home, she calls the local grocery man and asks seductively for a broom. He thinks it is some newcomer in the building and goes there to find the flat on the 5th floor. There is no fifth floor and he realizes that someone had played a prank on him.
Sullu also uses the seductive voice to speak to her husband over the phone and tells him to come home early, driving him mad. The next day, Sullu calls Maria several times, to inform her that she is interested in the job. Maria is in a prolonged meeting and is unable to receive her calls. Sullu is saddened and shares a few messages with Maria indicating the same. Maria, soon, realizes that Sullu would probably be the right person for the job and hires her. Initially, Ashok is upset with her decision, which she took without first talking to him. But, he relents after meeting Maria, due to his love for his wife, particularly because the company is ready to provide her the facility of pickup and drop.
