Vows and Verses

Before college begins, Shraddha and Abhay are tied together by a secret - an arranged marriage neither wanted but both must live.

Shraddha, a bold and vibrant Tamil Brahmin girl with a love for dance and literature, steps into Mumbai's bustling university carrying the weight of tradition and a heart full of silent dreams.

Abhay, her charismatic senior and a second-year literature student from a wealthy business family, is everything she isn't - confident, reckless, and untouchable to everyone but her.

Bound by vows whispered in secrecy, they navigate a campus where they are strangers in public and something much more behind closed doors.

As their worlds collide - rich and orthodox, modern and rebellious - they learn that love doesn't always come in loud declarations. Sometimes, it is written in quiet verses and stolen moments.
_____

"I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul."

_____

Will their vows confine them, or will the verses they write together set them free?
