Synopsis

With huge aspirations and dreams in mind, two innocent young friends, ‘Rocco’ (Akshay Kumar) and ‘Hunter’ (John Abraham) arrive in UK as overseas students at Oxford University, only to find themselves taking up work as male pole dancers in order to supplement their lack of student funds. Friendship soon turns to bitter rivalry as the fight to get to the number one pole position begins. To make things worse, Rocco makes the biggest academic faux pas by falling in love with a lecturer at Trinity College.
