Brothers, and long-standing ties bind them all. Chandu, the only son of Raghava, is caught in a web of family expectations and pride. His bond with Swapna—a cousin—sparks a dramatic rift when Chandu arranges her elopement with her boyfriend, which leads to his swift ousting from the house and a cold, isolating withdrawal from his kin by Raghupathi.
