The trailer begins in a lyrical way, where two lead characters meet while riding an 8 AM metro. Then the trailer delves into a man-woman relationship amid different situational crises.
Helmed by Raj R, the film is touted to be an emotional roller-coaster ride.
Speaking about the film and Gulzar’s contribution, Raj said, “It’s a story of two strangers who inadvertently bump into each other in the metro and strike up an unlikely friendship, in the process finding themselves and each other. I can’t thank Gulzar Saab enough for this magnanimous gesture and feel a deep sense of gratitude towards the legend that he is.”
In the film, Saiyami plays a 29-year-old housewife Iravati whose mundane life in Nanded is turned upside down when she has to rush to Hyderabad to tend to her pregnant sister who is confined to the bed. Fighting off recurring panic attacks, she turns to Gulshan’s Preetam, a banker with more to him than meets the eye, and the duo subsequently go on many journeys, both physical and metaphysical, finding solace in each other’s company.
Apart from Gulzar’s poetry, the music composed by Mark K. Robin features songs written by Kausar Munir and sung by artists like Jubin Nautiyal, Jonita Gandhi, Javed Ali, Vishal Mishra, and the Nooran Sisters.
