The story kicks off with Honest’s awkward and misguided proposal to his college friend Isai (Losliya Mariyanesan), setting the stage for an amusing yet heartfelt journey of love and self-discovery.

Hari Baskar’s portrayal of Honest is captivating, bringing charm and relatability to a character riddled with flaws. Honest’s desperation and quirks make him endearing, while Losliya Mariyanesan delivers a commendable performance as Isai, embodying her character’s vulnerability and inner conflicts with grace.
