Aritra (based on Aditya) is a young game designer working for a start-up in Sector V, Salt Lake. He’s creative, passionate, and slightly cynical about love — believes relationships should be fun, not bound by rules.
Diya (based on Tara) is a young architect interning at a famous heritage restoration firm in Kolkata. She dreams of going to Paris to study urban architecture.
They meet at a friend’s wedding at Tollygunge Club — sparks fly instantly. After a few dates across Kolkata (Coffee House, Princep Ghat, Kumartuli, and College Street), they realize they both believe in love but not in marriage.
Aritra lives as a paying guest in an old North Kolkata house owned by Debayan (based on Ganapathy), a retired professor, and his Alzheimer’s-affected wife Sayantika (based on Bhavani), who was once a famous Rabindra Nritya artist.
Seeing Debayan’s quiet, lifelong devotion to Sayantika deeply affects Aritra and Diya. They move in together in the same house — balancing their love, ambitions, and the looming reality of separation as both plan to move abroad.
As time passes, their carefree love begins to mature. They realize love isn’t about freedom alone — it’s also about staying when things get difficult. The story ends with them deciding to marry before they part ways for their dreams.
