Auro is an intelligent and witty 12-year-old boy with an extremely rare genetic disorder called progeria. Mentally, he is 12 and very normal, but physically, he looks five times older. Despite his condition, Auro is a very happy boy, and he lives with his mother, Vidya, who is a gynaecologist. Meanwhile, Amol Arte is a young, flamboyant politician. He is a man with a mission, out to prove to the world that "politics" is not a bad word. Auro is Amol's son; however, Vidya conceals this from him. Amol meets Auro when he visits Auro's school as the chief guest of a competition on the "visionary of India." Amol decides Auro is the winner, impressed by the white globe he made, but being seen with such a prominent politician, Auro is found by the media.
The next day, the media tries to enter Auro's school. Auro, annoyed by this, sends Amol an email, which says, "I hate you." Amol reads it and obtains a restraining order from the High Court stating that nobody can disturb him without permission. Auro, relieved, tells him of his desire to visit the president's house, but due to Amol's political issues, he fails to show up on the appointed day. Auro, however, loses confidence in him but later agrees to go to Delhi with him, although he now knows that Amol is his father. Though Amol does not know that Auro is his son, he takes him to Delhi to see the president's house. Auro says that he still needs to forgive Amol for his first mistake (not accepting him), but he does not tell him what it is. On his 13th birthday, he is in the hospital, and he tells his father that he, Auro, is his father's mistake. Auro tries to get his mother and father back together, but Vidya resists, still hurt by the fact that Amol wanted her to have an abortion when they first found out she was pregnant.
Amol realizes his mistake and proposes to Vidya, as he is still in love with her. He stays by Auro's side when he finds out that Auro is his son. Auro's health begins to deteriorate as his aging catches up. However, he is finally able to reunite his mother and father as Vidya gives in to her feelings for Amol and her motherly love for Auro. They perform the first wedding rites in the hospital in front of their dying son, implying that they will do the rest later. Auro says his last words, "Maa," to Vidya and "Paa," to Amol, before dying with a satisfied smile. The movie ends in the rain with Vidya mourning Auro's death as Amol comforts her.
