Description: In Kerala, Kasi (Dulquer Salmaan) sets off on a road trip. His best friend, Suni (Sunny Wayne), joins him and insists on staying even though Kasi is unsure about the destination. Together, they travel through Bangalore and Vizag, heading to Odisha. On the way, they are attacked by bandits but are rescued by a group of riders. Kasi and Suni then join them on their journey to Puri to attend a surfing festival.
In Puri, Kasi meets Ishita (Paloma Monappa), a surfer who develops feelings for him. However, Kasi reveals that he was once in love with Assi (Surja Bala Hijam), a girl from Nagaland, a region plagued by political unrest. Assi’s parents were killed during the conflicts, and Kasi had taken her home to seek his parents’ approval for marriage. While his father was somewhat supportive, his mother strongly disapproved due to cultural and religious differences. Now, Kasi is on his way to Nagaland to win Assi back.
From Puri, they travel to Kolkata. Along the way, they are mistaken for bandits in a village. Upon revealing they are from Kerala, the village chief, a former Communist, warmly welcomes them. They assist the villagers in building a wheat-grinding machine, and Suni falls in love with the chief’s daughter, Gouri (Ena Saha).
Beyond Kolkata, they continue their journey eastward when an unidentified truck attempts to harm Suni. After their bikes get punctured, they take them to a repair shop owned by a Malayalee who had fled Kerala years ago after committing a political murder. He expresses regret for abandoning his ideals and longs to return. This reminds Kasi of a tragic incident in college when one of his friends was killed by goons during a scuffle.
Their journey is one of self-discovery, love, and confronting past regrets as they navigate through various challenges and relationships.
