He is well on his way: he has just received a promotion in difficult economic times, his parents back home are proud, and they have even found a woman for him to marry.
Yet, within his heart Aditya knows that something is not right, and despite the momentum of his success, he senses that he is at a crossroad. Characters from his dreams begin to enter his waking life, making him begin to question not only his sanity, but his choices in life as well.Spurred by Mel, a mysterious figure trying to encourage him to pursue his dream, Aditya leaves the security of his career, midstream, to attend film school.
