Plot
Krish Kapoor is a passionate and temperamental musician trying to make his mark in the world. Vaani Batra is a soft-spoken journalist and poet, still recovering from emotional scars caused by a failed relationship. Their paths cross when Krish stumbles upon Vaani's poetry and is inspired to turn her words into music.
As they begin collaborating on songs, a deep emotional connection forms between them. Their artistic partnership slowly blossoms into love, as they both find healing in each other's company. However, their journey takes a painful turn when Vaani is diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's disease. As she begins to lose her memories, Krish is faced with a heart-wrenching choice: continue chasing his musical dreams, or stay by Vaani's side as she fades away.
