When the gifted photographer and romantic dreamer, who has magic in his fingers, comes here from New Delhi in search of his "goldmine", little does he know that it will come in the shape of a devastating beauty who will not only change his life but also take it over. Just when everything is going swimmingly well and the horizon is turning pink with promise, the city presents its bill in a manner conceivable only in this city.
