The story unfolds around a group of college friends, who reunite at their friend Riche’s wedding in Ooty. While Richie’s ex has clearly not moved on, two other couples have their own mess to deal with. A television actor faces sexual harassment charges, while there’s a man-child who can’t hold his horses amidst women. A tricky game over a dinner party alters the course of their lives.

While discussing the film, OTTplay.com's critic wrote, “If Richie Gadi Pelli was a mobile contact, you’d rather want to add it to your blocklist. The conversational drama unfolding over a dinner party is amateurishly written, poorly enacted and executed. There’s no silver-lining here and the director KS Hemraj squanders the potential of a good premise.”
