A 23-year-old Ram Bharose and his teenaged whiz-kid Sardar befriend sarabjeet Sidhaana A.K.A. ‘Cyberjeet’ and strike upon an ingenious brainwave of starting a website that helps young couples in Amritsar elope and get married.

The website becomes an instant hit with young, love-struck couples facing pressure from their parents and the site becomes a rage in small town Amritsar.

The film steers through comedy, drama, and emotions of the middle class community of 1990's Kolkata, and carefully captures the essence of North Kolkata, and the quintessential spirit of North Kolkata’s para football. There are some funny dialogues in this movie you will love to hear it. Though It will be difficult to understand the actual meaning for you if you cannot get the sarcasm.
