Plot summary
In 1998, the scientists Paul and Michael test a time machine, the experiment fails, and Michael dies. Two decades later, Adhi, an aspiring musician, and his friends Chaitanya, called Chaitu, and Seenu are struggling in their lives. Seenu, a real estate agent, is asked by Paul to find him a house on the outskirts, and Adhi comes along. The boxes in that house are dated 28 March 1998, the day before Adhi's mother died. Paul offers Adhi the machine: he can go back and save her if he also stops the 1998 experiment and saves Michael. Chaitu and Seenu join for their own reasons, and Paul sets the date to 1 March 1998, laying out the rules.
