Make Ups is a collage of a day in the lives of the protagonists living in Mumbai. It is inspired by the life of Parveen Babi, a famous Bollywood beauty, who died tragically. Zeenat Aman, who is another Bollywood icon, plays her. The other two characters are also taken from real life persons. The aging actress is schizo- paranoid, the gay typist transcribes medical lectures in a decrepit office, and the prostitute loves her work in spite of the sleaze. They are involved in search of their utopias even though they lead mundane lives
