He lives in a home nearby the college that was made from the money of his unknown father. From time to time, the movie poignantly traces his reminiscences of his childhood years in an orphanage.
Will Lal ever find the love and sense of belonging he yearns for? Will changing circumstances encourage Lal to move on from the fun and frolic of the college years and embark upon the next stage in the journey of life?
