Synopsis:

Vikram and Mugdha seem to be living the perfect life—until their contrasting outlooks begin to test their relationship. Vikram believes in relentless optimism, while Mugdha stands firmly by unfiltered realism.

During a couple’s therapy session, they’re asked to write a gratitude list—an exercise that unexpectedly uncovers emotional gaps, unspoken resentments, and uncomfortable truths.

As Vikram’s boundless positivity clashes with Mugdha’s blunt honesty, the session unfolds through relatable couple moments filled with humour, tension, and emotional revelation. What begins as a simple task quickly becomes a revealing mirror to their relationship.

When they leave the therapist’s office, one question remains:
Has anything truly changed—or have they simply learned to embrace their differences?
