What the story is about

Sravani and Subramanyam are strangers who meet at a suicide spot on the seashore in Vizag. Before going through with it, they tell each other why: Sravani’s relatives, who are also her guardians, hound her for her family money, while Subramanyam has been cheated by a friend who took a large sum from him with the promise of a job in Dubai. They write their suicide notes and decide to help each other fulfil their last wishes first, and in doing so two people who wanted to die start to find reasons to live. The film follows where that unlikely bond takes them.
