Viraj is a 26-year-old from Hyderabad, Telangana suffering with polyphagia, a condition in which he feels extremely hungry all the time, therefore eating more than the normal serving sizes. He was and is always teased by everyone, including his own father, for eating large amounts of food and being "large" himself but is always supported by his overcaring mother. Parvathi ("Paru") is a 24-year-old genetic counselor, originally from Vizag, Andhra Pradesh, who settled in Hyderabad for her job with her other roommates, but it didn't change her fate. "Kali Paru" is dark-skinned, but, as usual, people don't respect real-life dark-skinned people like they do to dark-skinned gods and goddesses.
With an ample amount of drama and comedy, this unconventional love story of two imperfect "non-beauties" will definitely tug your heartstrings!
