Krishnan’s debut film depicts his own original story and was among the 20 films that were selected in the Indian Panorama section of IFFI.

The film deals with emotions, relations, dreams, and aspirations of today's educated upper class youth living in metros. It shows the deluge of colours the urban life is more often associated with.

The film is about the making of the movie itself—an ad man, Hayagreevan (Satyajit), dreams of becoming a filmmaker. He was desperately trying to make his first movie. The different nuances and incidents he sees in life appear like passages out of a movie script to him. Time is racing out for him as his girlfriend Sindhu (Anuja Iyer) suffering from a chronic disease. He wants to marry her but she tells him she will marry him only after he completes his dream movie.

The main cast comprises C P Satyajit, Anuja Iyer, E Kumaravel and Charan. The cinematography is by Fowzia Fathima, editing by B.Lenin, Art direction by Thotaa Tharrani, music by Aslam Mustafa and Audiography by A.S. Lakshmi Narayanan.
