This is a love story of a security guard Rekha and her lover Sargam. Sargam being a banking aspirant often has to visit the mall where she meets her lover Rekha who works at the frisking booth of the same mall. Forbidden by the heteronormative society both hide their relationship from everyone.

Overall the story is amazing, as it has nicely focused on the topic of homosexuality. There's no wonder it got selected for such an honorable Film Festival. This film has gained a nice response from the audience for its awesome representation and story.
