==Plot==
Chintan Das, known as Chinu, lives with his grandfather, Sunil Das, who is his only surviving family member.  Unable to understand Chinu's restlessness and hyperactivity, and fearing for him, he takes Chinu to a doctor who diagnoses autism. Although he accepts the diagnosis, and attempts to research and understand Chinu, he continues efforts to make Chinu behave "like a normal child". Unable to face the reality of his grandson's condition, Sunil dies. Pihu, the little girl who is Chinu's only friend, leaves the city and makes him feel even more lonely. Renuka, the principal of a children's autistic centre, sees Chinu and recognises his condition. She takes him into her care, providing him with both occupational therapy and maternal affection. He begins pouring out his thoughts and feelings, and as he grows up, goes on to become a well known writer and philosopher. In the meantime, Pihu, inspired by the desire to understand the unusual behaviour of her childhood friend, becomes a research scholar in sociology. She comes to realise that the now famous writer Chintan Das is none other than her old friend, Chinu. She meets him and they visit landmarks to relive their old memories. In the process, Pihu tries to use her academic and research knowledge in sociology to teach Chinu to behave like an average person and socialise with others. This has a negative impact on their friendship, and he returns to his private world, becoming engrossed within his own thoughts again.

==Development==
Director Manas Sahoo was contemplating a film on the subject of [[intellectual disability]] when he and Alina Samal met the autistic daughter of an acquaintance. Never having met someone with autism before, they decided to take on this subject as the concept for their next film, to create more awareness about the condition. While researching the complexities and realities of autism by consulting and with people in the medical field, they met Gautam Panda, an [[Savant syndrome|autistic savant]] child, who became the final inspiration for their story concept.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.orissapost.com/autism-based-oriya-film-screened/|title=Autism-based Oriya film screened|last=|first=|date=28 August 2016|website=Orissa Post|language=en-US|url-status=live|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=25 November 2019}}</ref>
