Talking about the film's subject, he says, "An international student, male protagonist, comes to Canada from India. He falls in love with the female protagonist, who hails from an Indian immigrant family and grew up in Canada. The male protagonist's personality is not in-line with the female protagonist, since they grew up in distinct cultural environment. The female protagonist faces cultural difference with her parents at home as well. The male protagonist comes to know that she is already in a relationship, which makes the male protagonist heart-broken. Later, the female protagonist faces a break-up and the male protagonist helps her come out of depression, which makes her fall in love with him. He also helps clear out differences with her parents. Both, the male and female protagonist, find a balance within their cultural values and decide to get married, hence the movie has a happy ending".
