==Plot==
Sujata is introduced as a mute single daughter of Mallikarjunan and Kamala, a Hindu family. She is also a talented [[Kathak]] dancer. One day Sujata meets [[Sufi]] on a bus. Sufi is a [[whirling dervish]] and a Muslim scholar who returns after an expedition to meet his [[Ustad]]. There he loses his [[misbaha]] (prayer beads), which Sujatha returns to him. Later, one day Sufi gifts his misbaha to Sujata, which was a gift from his mother. Soon after, they fall in love and decide to elope. Instead, her father marries her off to a well-to-do NRI Rajeev, in Dubai. Bearing in mind that interfaith relationships are claimed by the Hindu Nationalists as fraudulent [[Love Jihad]], Sujata's father argues with Ustad about the consequences of Love. Five years later, she thinks that love is lost.

[[Sufism|Sufi]] returns to the village after ten years. Ustad is no more. Sufi visits his grave at the mosque cemetery. [[Imam]] finds him there and invites him inside. Sufi gives out the [[Adhan|call to prayer]] and gathers people. Unfortunately, he dies during that prayer. Sujata is devastated by the news of Sufi's death. Her husband Rajeev decides to bring her back to the village to attend the burial. They reach the funeral only after Sufi's body is in the process of burial. However, Rajeev pays a visit at the grave, since females aren't allowed inside.

Later that evening, Rajeev realizes that he has lost his [[passport]]. After searching for it everywhere, he concludes that it could've fallen from his pocket into the grave. Rajeev and his father-in-law Mallikarjunan decide to unearth the grave, together with their tenant Kumaran. But the trio ends up bickering with one another when they can't find anything. Meanwhile, Sujatha arrives there with the passport, which she had hidden so she could return the misbaha, once the grave is unearthed. They return to Dubai and stop fighting.
