Plot
With her parents and younger brother, Vaani waits at the court for Mahesh and his family for their scheduled marriage. However, during a phone call, Vaani learns that Mahesh has abandoned her for the daughter of a prominent businessman, choosing career ambitions over love. Devastated, Vaani faints and withdraws into deep depression, locking herself in her room for months and losing touch with her passion for writing.
Krish Kapoor, a young and talented musician, is trying to establish himself in the industry. He is emotionally unstable, aggressive, and uses music to cope with childhood trauma. After an unpleasant encounter with a journalist and a confrontation with a band member who took credit for his work, Krish is held together by his friend KV, who financially supports the band using money meant for his education. One day, Krish comes across the personal poetry of Vaani who is seeking a job as an anchor and writer at a publishing house. He is immediately drawn to the raw simplicity and depth in her writing.
Despite initial hesitation due to Krish's erratic behavior and the overwhelming environment of the music studio, Vaani agrees to collaborate with him on a song for a production house. During a creative block, Krish discovers torn pages in her notebook and realizes she is carrying emotional baggage of her own. To ease her mind, Krish takes Vaani to a cricket ground where he often finds peace. Inspired by his passion and focus, Vaani begins writing again.
