Dhruva Jamadagni is on the brink of achieving everything he's ever worked for. At just 30 he is the youngest MP and is about to become the youngest Chief Minister of Karnataka - a charismatic, well-educated leader, deeply rooted in Indian tradition. Raised in a prestigious family of wealth and power, Dhruva has dedicated his life to a single purpose: serving the nation. Yet, despite his public success, there's one part of his life he refuses to explore - love. To him, love and marriage are distractions from his duty, a path he's determined to avoid.

Far from the political spotlight, in a remote forest village, lives 22-year-old Dhatri Vaishampayana. She belongs to an ancient lineage of healers, descended from the students of Charaka & Sushruta. Her family has preserved the priceless knowledge of ancient Indian medicine for centuries, passing it down through generations. Raised in the most remote tribal village cut off from the outside world, Dhatri has mastered these healing arts under the guidance of her mother, becoming the next guardian of a wisdom long forgotten by modern society.

When circumstances force Dhatri out of her secluded world and into Dhruva's life, their vastly different lives collide. Dhruva, closed off to the idea of love, finds himself slowly drawn to Dhatri, a woman who challenges his beliefs about duty and the heart. Meanwhile, Dhatri, used to living in the shadows, must now face the harsh reality of stepping into the public eye.

As their worlds intertwine, Dhatri must find the strength to open Dhruva's heart while navigating the pressures of a life she never sought. Can Dhruva reconcile his duty to his state with the pull of his heart? And can Dhatri, a woman used to the shadows, find her place in the relentless glare of public life?

This is a story of fate, transformation, and the delicate balance between duty & love. Can they both stay true to themselves, or will their connection force them to redefine what their promises really mean?

Once upon a time, men and women entered marriage with very clear policies regarding the division of labour: he would go to work and "bring home the bacon," while she would stay at home and cook, clean, and raise the children. Things aren't the same as they used to be. Modern Indian romance, intimacies, and marriages are far more complicated than assessments and reality television shows portray. In India, arranged marriages are an unique and complex process. People seek a 'soulmate' with whom they can spend the rest of their lives, but they also have specific expectations of the potential bride or groom. There is a strong narrative about finding love, compatibility, and connection, but what stands out is a real intent to replicate class identities beneath all of this. In a country that depends on a spending population, "middle class" is a necessary armour, a shared language, a value system, and, more importantly, a way of life. Life may be unjust, irritating, and disarmingly disappointing on most days. Being middle class, on the other hand, creates character in a culture obsessed with the need to be a part of the rat race. Marriage also places the onus of making sacrifices, concessions, and making the marriage work on the couple. This tale illuminates the unseen and underappreciated aspects of an Indian arranged marriage, the life of a middle-class wife and husband and their shared responsibilities as they navigate through life. Immense amount of desi tadka awaiting your way. *I don't own the illustration on the poster.*
