On duty, the pair are lethal killing machines, but while off duty, FDR is a brash and reckless playboy who hunts for potential hook-ups by faking chance encounters with lonely girls in a video rental store, while Tuck, who hasn’t dated in years, takes to a website to find the love of his life. But their friendship comes to an end when they discover that they have fallen for the same girl, Lauren Scott.
The two CIA operatives then proceed to engage in an all-out war to win the affections of the lady. This battle sees the two suitors summoning all the technology and manpower at their command to engage in a game of one-upmanship, while the woman in question remains blissfully unaware of what’s going on.
So, using the same skills and high-tech gadgetry that they once used to bring down entire enemy nations, FDR and Tucker proceed to fight each other to get their lady love.

Synopsis: Chaurahen is almost like snippets of collected photographs, bringing together similar disconnected people in search for something to overcome the mundane reality. In the film, characters are connected, perspectives are skewed, morality is left ambiguous and the gray area between right and wrong is explored, often through overlapping streams of plots. The first story focuses on Farooq and Ira’s relationship in Mumbai. Farooq’s memories haunt him, making him incapable of sharing true love with Ira. She leaves him, and he is left with his demons, ending up alone. The second story is about Dr. Siddharth Bose, a wealthy surgeon in Kolkata who feels trapped in a loveless marriage. To counter this, he embarks on an uncomfortable affair with a much younger woman, Laia, a German tourist en route to discovering India and herself. Their passionate, yet tormented romance, lays the groundwork for one relationship to repair and another to self-destruct. The final story is set in the city of Kochi where the Nair family has to come to terms with the unexpected loss of a family member who died serving in the Indian military.
