A vibrant, feel-good romantic comedy that uses a train journey through South India as the backdrop for two strangers to fall in love while navigating cultural differences and family obstacles.

Rahul embarks on a journey to a small town in Tamil Nadu to fulfill the last wish of his grandfather: to have his ashes immersed in the Holy water of Rameshwaram. En route, he meets a woman hailing from a unique family down South. As they find love through this journey in the exuberant lands of South India, an unanticipated drive awaits them.
