So as said before, the movie starts with Nandini forgetting smaller things in her life. Her doctor also recommends taking some rest as she feels that Nandini is facing this ignorable issue due to lack of rest and stress. Soon the world around Nandini goes for a toss and the story takes an interesting turn too.
