Story

The main characters are Savitri and Satyaprakash. Savitri is a vegan who works as a veterinarian at an animal shelter and Satyaprakash is an engineer who manufactures products related to solar energy. They are introduced to each other as prospective marriage partners by their parents, having met earlier at the wedding of common friends. The film charts their journey from their first formal meeting to their eventual marriage. This film differs from a traditional plot as it is frequently interrupted by a narrating character that breaks the fourth wall and outlines the recently passed events.

Synopsis

The film is a satire on the institute of marriage in the current changing world of values.Savi is a vegan who works as a veterinarian at an animal shelter and Satya is an engineer who manufactures products related to solar energy. Both are satisfied in their fields and have won the youth icon award for their work. They are introduced to each other as prospective marriage partners by their parents, having met earlier at the wedding of common friends. During the meeting, Saavi puts forth a condition that she wants to stay with Satya at his house for 2 months in order to test their compatibility and future. Initially everyone except Satya are against this, he thinks it will be a good experiment. When they both explain how arranged marriage couples usually don't get along well and it may end up in divorce, eventually everyone agrees. Saavi has 2 conditions: First, that their relationship will be completely platonic and second that Satya will have to give up non-veg food. Satya agrees and hence Saavi shifts to his house. Over the next 2 months Satya and Saavi get to know about each other, their professions and their interests. Saavi helps Satya in acquiring important work related papers while Satya helps to raise funds for Saavi's animal shelter and soon start falling in love. However,in the success party of Satya's project where he plans to propose Saavi, She notices non-veg food being cooked inside and gets very angry on Satya. Satya also gets upset that she doesn't want to adjust at all, and tells her that he changed his daily habits only because of Saavi's request and he cannot force the others to give up non vegetarian food and accept a vegan lifestyle. Both get into a heated argument and become disheartened. Satya and Saavi meet again at the youth icon award ceremony and confess their feelings comically at a press interview where Satya gifts Saavi a pet puppy named Galleo. The film ends by Satya and Saavi getting married.
