==Plot==
The story tells of a group of migrants from [[Northeast India]] to [[Delhi]], Upasana, Chanbi, and Zorem, who are trying to help their friend Minam with her wedding preparations. Minam, who shares a flat with Upasana, Chanbi, and others from their region, is called away suddenly for an interview. Meanwhile, her friends try to find an ingredient to make '[[Akhuni|Axone]],' a special dish that they want for the wedding. The friends face various difficulties as they attempt to plan the wedding and prepare Axone. The other tenants object and the landlord's mother-in-law enforces her rule against parties or spicy cooking in the flat. They decide to hold the wedding at Chanbi's boyfriend Bendang's flat, but finding a way to cook Axone without drawing the attention of locals brings comical problems.

Shiv, the landlord's son, and a friend of Zorem, lends his hand. His girlfriend breaks up with him when she sees him with Upasana, and later with Chanbi. As the wedding hour nears, the friends are discouraged at the thought of failing Minam (who has not yet returned). Zorem finally resolves to cook Axone on Upasana's landlord's terrace, and receives the landlord's permission in spite of his mother-in-law. The friends manage to prepare the Axone just in time for the wedding.

The marriage begins with Minam opening a video conference with her groom and family at her native home. The friends had not realised it was a long-distance marriage, with the bride's sister standing proxy in Minam's place. They had gone through all the Axone trouble for a marriage that was not even happening in Delhi. After the wedding ceremony, Zorem proposes to Upasana and Chanbi decides to return to her native place with Bendang. Meanwhile, Bendang makes peace with a racist incident from his past. Finally, the friends treat themselves to Axone, while Shiv regrets that he can't find any mainland Indian cuisine.
