Their acquaintance initiates her to have the subject matter of her thesis while eventually they turn lovers!
His attitude towards her is genuinely romantic while the same cannot be said of her!
On the successful wrap up of her thesis, she decides to move on but he stays struck!
Years roll past and he is now a Lieutenant in the Indian Air Force.
What happens when the duo get to meet?

A. R. Rahman’s score and the captivating camera angles of Tushar Kanti Ray deserve special mention.
