RAIN IS COMING…
Two families converge on Delhi – for an arranged marriage and what promises to be a glorious union. As festivities unfurl in song and dance, expectation and reality collide. The bride and groom are not who they appear to be, and dark family secrets begin to surface. Chaos ensues, and as the nuptials draw closer, so do the wedding planner and the house maid. Together they find love over a simple marigold flower.
As the city pulses with the promise of relief from the heat, the ancient and unbroken ties of family are further tested, asking the question – how do we redefine love in a rapidly evolving world?
