PlotIn a picturesque but mystical town awash in blue hues, a young, idealistic musician named Raj arrives with dreams in his eyes and a song in his heart. With nowhere to go and not a penny to his name, he takes refuge on a bridge under the stars, making friends with the quirky inhabitants of the town. His life takes a turn when he meets Sakina, a mysterious young woman waiting on the bridge, looking out for the return of her lover who had left her with a promise to return on a rainy night. Captivated by her beauty and sorrow, Raj befriends Sakina, and as they spend time together, he falls hopelessly in love with her.
Unaware of Raj's feelings, Sakina continues to cling to the hope of her lover's return, sharing her dreams and melancholy with Raj, who listens and comforts her with his music. As days pass, Raj's love grows stronger, and he decides to confess his feelings, hoping to win Sakina's heart before her lover comes back. Their budding friendship and Raj's unwavering affection set the stage for a tale of love, longing, and dreams in the face of the realities of life and love lost. However, the arrival of a stranger in town, whom Sakina eagerly awaits, threatens to change the course of their lives forever.
