The film is a modern-day love story in the age of social media, as seen through two primary characters – RJ Alfaaz, played by debutant actor Zain Khan Durrani and meme artist - Archana, played by Geetanjali Thapa . In a world of pings, likes, tweets, shares, and comments, 2 strangers connect over a miss-dial and Whatsapp their way into each other’s hearts, safely hidden behind digital screens.
