90s. Mumbai. Two hearts, one city and a thousand stolen glances.
Every morning, she boards the same local train-armed with dreams, letters in her bag and Shah Rukh Khan in her heart. And every morning, he watches her from the next compartment, silently matching his rhythm with hers.
A story started with disagreements, cute banters, his quirky remarks and her sarcastic replies blooms into a big garden full of emotions, love and respect.
As their bond deepens in a city bursting with colour, chaos and cassette tapes, the two must navigate family expectations, cultural clashes and the kind of love that feels both cinematic and real.
In a world without smartphones but filled with landline calls and monsoon memories, Under The Same Mumbai Sky is a tender, slow-burn romance that captures the magic of first love-and the city that witnessed it all.
~A love story based in the 90s blooming through the streets and local of Mumbai 🚆🫶🏻💌
