What the story is about

Chaitanya, a shy, soft-spoken software engineer, secretly marries Kalyani against her father’s wishes. Once they settle into married life they decide to start a family, and Chaitanya learns that he has a low sperm count. What follows is a run of comic, chaotic and emotional situations involving eccentric doctors, anxious relatives and odd friends.
