Plot

Does a writer write the story? Or does the story choose its writer?

When life opens doors, do we know what's behind it? Before entering another door, we should contemplate if it is leading us to where we want to go or where life wants to take us. But, is it even a choice?

Tejas is a C.A. (chartered accountant), who wants to be a writer. One evening, his world collides with Abhay’s. A story begins to unfold in front of him. He is faced with a character of his story. In the realm of magical realism, an emotional drama unfolds.

Saramsha is much like reading a novel - laden with metaphors and pop culture references within its rollercoaster of emotions. ^[5]
