Synopsis

Richa and Hrishi, both millennials, cross paths while studying in Pune. Richa is doing her Ph.D. in HR Management, while Hrishi is doing his MBA in finance. It was love at first sight for both of them, culminating in marriage as soon as they were done studying. Hrishi was the typical ambitious male and landed a job as an investment banker. His ambition drives him away from Richa, making her feel lonely and depressed. Richa feels compelled to take up a job, pursue her career, and join a startup as an HR consultant. Hrishi is unhappy as he feels she should be a homemaker and wants a baby. Like most working couples today, their careers slowly start to create a divide. Things turn so ugly that they eventually decide to file for divorce. Coincidentally their divorce happens on Richa's birthday, and circumstances compel Hrishi to attend Richa's birthday party the same night. Strange is the human heart, and destiny is never in our hands. At the party, something unusual happens between Hrishi and Richa.[2]
