Vishnu Prasad Singh lives a middle-class life with his dad, Balwant, and mom. He is generally ignored by his dad, pestered and abused by his mom. He works as a salesman, but due to his lack of confidence in himself, he is unable to accomplish much. To make matters worse, the boys in the neighborhood make fun of him all the time. This compounds his shyness and timidity all the more. The one bright spot in his life is a young woman named Mohini, who he is attracted to and keeps on staring at her on the sly. Then a young man named Sameer, from the U.S., enters Mohini's life, bursting yet another bubble in Vishnu's dreamworld. Fed-up, he prays with all his heart that since no one really notices him, he would be better off invisible - and his wish comes true. Alarmed at first, then delighted with his new powers and gift, he goes about trying to make things right for himself, and avenging himself against those who had wronged him, including his mom and Sameer. He gets so caught up in this that one thing leads to another, and soon he is living a life of crime. When the police find out that their culprit is invisible and has a crush on Mohini, they use to her to entrap him. The question is does Mohini have any feelings for Vishnu or will she fully cooperate in entrapping Vishnu to the police - who have been ordered to shoot-to-kill.
Gayab Preview
Once in a while almost everybody fantasizes about becoming invisible. And if a man, who has been rejected by everybody as a flunky and who has been subjugated in life, becomes invisible, it is quite natural that he wouldn't do anything nice and straight.
Director Prawaal Raman's Gayab tells the story of such a man. The protagonist of the movie is a young man named Vishnu Prasad (Tushar Kapoor).
Vishnu is a man of a mediocre personality and has ended up as a failure in life. He is very common, very inconspicuous and low on self-confidence. He doesn't stand out in a crowd and there is nothing extraordinary about him.
His little world consists of a nagging mom (Rasika Joshi) and a timid dad (Raghuvir Yadav).
Vishnu craves like hell for the attention of the woman of his dreams (Antara Mali). Sadly she is not even aware of his existence.
The world is just a drag for Vishnu. It seems that nobody would even miss him if he were to disappear. But ironically, he finds himself becoming the center of attraction for all once becomes invisible.
