In a college town in Bangalore, Abhi is a student who meets a Muslim girl Bhanu, whose relatives are staying in Abhi’s rental house. The two quickly strike up a connection, and what begins as a cautious acquaintance soon grows into a real relationship. But the romance draws a sharp line in the sand when Bhanu’s father, Mohammed Khan, learns of their bond and reacts with shock and fury. He comes to Bangalore to confront Abhi, finds him at the college, and launches an attack. Abhi fights back, not to harm, but to defend himself, and his initial assault on Khan is brutal; he stops only when he realizes Khan is Bhanu’s father, a moment that unsettles him and reverberates through the people around them.
