An orphan walks through the streets and witnesses Holi the festival of colors is being celebrated with fervour and fun. The festive atmosphere makes him yearn for sweets and colors. Sadly he doesn’t get both initially. Children do not differentiate between the haves and the have nots, and they smear color on this boy and one of them shares packets of colors with this boy. The orphan is satisfied that his desire of playing Holi and savouring sweets gets fulfilled.

A film actor is confident that he will essay the character he has to portray with perfection. But the character which he has to essay has his doubts. He takes this film star in his path and then self-realisation occurs for the film star. He has a long way to travel.

An interesting backward flow of memories of the lead protagonist. He muses over his past love lives. From the day he had a break-up to the day he fell in love…
Three encounters with love are shown with his perspective. He talks about women and their thinking in general. Not much of a difference, all women are the same. Every present will become a past and so will this one.
That is what he thinks, what about her thoughts on men and love…
