The story of two young men trying to achieve their dreams in a foreign land. for one, Kolkata is dying and stagnant. For the other, kolkata is still the mecca of culture and arts. two stories that run parallely, erratically, never quite merging; yet colliding. A warm hearted, hillarious, yet deeply touching drama about two men in this crazy global world...
