As a writer/director Kunal Kemmu has a different kind of #Vibe altogether. Fresh approach towards writing, smart outlook towards direction and great zeal to make films laced with lot of humour and sarcasm seems to be his forte. A great filmmaker in him is waiting to be unleased.

Plot
What happens when two ordinary men are pulled into a national-security operation? In Kunal Kemmu's Vibe, the result is a chaotic mix of espionage, friendship and comedy. Hardik (Kunal Kemmu) and Bugs (Sparsh Shrivastava) are two friends whose routine lives take an unexpected turn when they become involved in a high-stakes mission.
Hardik is impulsive and guided by instinct, while Bugs is comparatively sensible, though his attempts at keeping things under control rarely succeed. Their misadventures eventually bring them face-to-face with intelligence operative Madam H (Preity Zinta), who is tasked with navigating their unlikely involvement.

Rather than focusing heavily on spycraft, Vibe uses the espionage setting to create comic situations, misunderstandings and escalating chaos. Kemmu plays Hardik as an immature but likeable troublemaker, while Shrivastava provides a grounded contrast. Zinta's composed Madam H adds another layer of humour as she attempts to manage the unpredictable duo.
