Aage Se Right, based on the present day Mumbai, is the story of contingency, co-incidence and real life humor. The film revolves around five days of agitation, anarchy and trouble in the life of a cop and a terrorist.

During a series of unpredictable occurrences, which are beyond their control, the cop loses his gun and the terrorist loses his heart. Dinkar Waghmare(Shreyas Talpade) is a 28 years old sub-inspector working for the Mumbai Police and has never solved a case. His father was a successful police officer but he has always stayed away from serious action. He is being constantly taunted and pestered by his mother to live up to his father's successful image. One day he misplaced his gun that put him under extreme pressure, degradation and shame. As he loses his gun 4 days before the annual Police day function he tries to find it and unwittingly faces the big shot of the Mumbai underworld and international terrorism.

Janubhai alias Balma(Kay Kay Menon) is a serious terrorist. He has been sent by a terrorist group in India to perform terror missions in Mumbai. Gradually as the story moves on he changes into a romantic and falls in love with a bar girl Pearl. He realizes that his mission of terror was not an act of a warrior, but he has been chosen to follow the path of Love by Allah.

The paths of Dinkar's and Janu's keep crossing without them confronting each other until the climax where collectively they defeat the evil face of terrorism.

Soniya Bhatt(Mahie) is an attractive, overzealous television news reporter. She plays the role of the 'sutradhar' who connects the different pieces of the film. She accidentally meets Dinkar who has always been in awe of her and watches her show regularly.

Pearl(Shehnaz Treasurywala) is an aspiring Bollywood actress cum most popular dance girl in a dance bar. She is absolutely gorgeous and Janu's object of affection.

Sunny(Shiv Pandit) is a 25 year old young man. A street smart and tapori, who is madly in love with the Police Commissioner's daughter Suhasini and can do anything for her. He is amazing at the art of mimicry and sound effects which end up creating much confusion.

The soundtracks of Aagey Se Right are average. The album has a couple of songs which manage to make an impression. The tracks are strictly situational. 'Mahiya', sung by Shilpa Rao is a contemporary Indian Bollywood music and western rock fusion, which gives an extra zing to the album. The title song has a chorus beginning. This theme track is written by Hitesh Kewalya and sung by Kirti Sagathia, Sunidhi Chauhan and Amartya Rahut. It has a naughty appeal which may not impress one as a listener but might entice you visually. There is a 'remix' version to this song.

For 'More Piya', it's a tranquil 60s style beginning toppled up with a lounge setting. The soft number is sung by Deepikkaa Bhattacharya and offers a sudden twist with Kay Kay Menon arriving on the scene with his 'sher-o-shayari'.

'Aagey Se Right' is a fidgety caricature satire of the disorderly times that we live in where you tend to question if "Aage se right" is actually right?!
