Set against the picturesque backdrop of Aldona, Goa, the film explores themes of love, regret, and the bonds we forge. David (Prabhu Mundkur), a college student, navigates the challenges of youth and family expectations while reflecting on his childhood and his overbearing grandfather, Richie (Dattatreya). This dynamic fuels David’s internal conflict, particularly as he grapples with his feelings for Jessie (Ila Veeramalla), a symbol of freedom amidst chaos.
The vintage radio becomes a crucial element in the story, which David strives to repair, even as his grandfather forbids him from touching it. When David tunes into a frequency, he connects with Janani, aka Jenny, and experiences flashes of the past. The radio becomes a potent symbol of nostalgia and connection, bridging the gap between David’s present and his childhood memories, particularly with his father, all through Janani, an orphan with whom he feels a deep bond. It is through this instrument that we witness their reflections on key moments across different timelines, including the historical significance of the 1996 Cricket World Cup and Janani’s admiration for Sachin Tendulkar. Their conversations reveal a parallel between their lives; Janani’s struggles with loneliness mirror David’s own issues. As David learns more about her, he realises that their lives are intricately connected through shared experiences and the haunting presence of Joe (played by Prabhu Mundkur), Janani’s mysterious link to David’s past.
