Neel Gandhi from London and Mohammed Aslam from New Delhi meet at a scientific conference in Bangalore, both facing intense opposition from families and friends in their planned interfaith marriages to their girlfriends. This gripping drama delves into the profound religious divides within Indian society and beyond, culminating in a surprising twist that reveals the artificial barriers that undermine our shared humanity and challenge the essence of pure faith and spirituality.
