==Plot==<br />
Writer Lakshmi Narayana Malgudi, ([[Vijay Raghavendra]]) a well-known writer, has announced his retirement from writing and his fans are heartbroken. The man, who lived his entire life creating wonderful memories for his readers, carries around a heavy heart but refuses to share with anyone the reason behind it. While his family suggests that he settle in a foreign land, Malgudi has other plans. He decides to go back to the place where he spent his childhood - Malgudi. Prakruti (Greeshma), who has quit her job after reporting workplace harassment, is on the way to find herself. The two meet into each other and begin a journey together. En route, they narrate their stories to each other. In the flashback (the late 70s), Malgudi (a Hindu boy), a studious student of Class 10, falls in love with Lenita (a Christian girl) who is mute. Her father, a cop, is recently transferred to Malgudi and the family is still in the process of settling down. Malgudi's love for Lenita doubles when he finds out she is mute. Amidst all this, communal tension breaks out between Hindus and Christians in the town. While Lenita reciprocates Malgudi's love, miscreants blame Lenita's family for indulging in conversion. As the tension intensifies, Malgudi flees to Bengaluru. Forty years later, still in love with Lenita, he enters Malgudi with the hope of meeting her.<br />
