Plot

Kahani (Mahie Gill) and her husband Nirbhay (Priyanshu Chatterjee) had planned to celebrate their wedding anniversary in Goa, but due to some last-minute work, Nirbhay stayed back and Kahani had to travel alone. While she waits for her husband in Goa, she picks up a book to read written by her favourite author, Nagarjun (Nana Patekar). After a short while, a visitor rings the doorbell of her house, who turns out to be none other than Nagarjun himself. The conversation that follows between the two, involves Nagarjun talking about love, its true meaning, and the relevance it has in our lives, and it forms the crux of the film.
