Plot[edit]
During the Pandemic Lockdown of year 2020 in Greater Noida Uttar Pradesh, an art lecturer & painting enthusiast Kusum is struggling to conduct the Pooja on Rama-Navami.
Several individuals refuse to attend the holy ceremony and Kusum gets unfortunate news; her priest gets Corona-positive.
Being a true believer of Lord Vishnu, Kusum is certain that her five-year pledge of pooja will soon be fruitful and she will reconcile with her husband who had left her a few years back.
The year 2020 being the last year to complete her long pledge, Kusum expresses to herself that such obstacles should not affect her rigorous faith and leaves the house to seek another priest. With extensive efforts, Kusum encounters a peculiar Pandit who agrees to conduct the pooja but places his own conditions too.
Only four individuals join the afternoon gathering: Urvashi, a woman whose main interest is her own gratification; Jyoti, an arrogant and hardcore atheist; Karan, a kid with not much interest in religious ceremonies and Sahil, a drug addict who will do anything for his urge of drugs.
By the time the Pooja finishes, the true nature of everyone in the house is revealed. The Pandit resolves the mayhem and all the attendees get the consequence of their Karma according to Garuda Purana.
Then the Pandit reveals that he is the avatar of Vijaya, a mythological character who was incarnated as Kumbhkarna, in the epic Ramayana. Kusum embraces the true-self of Pandit with serenity and asks if he has paid this sacred visit to bring her husband back. There is a twist in the climax of the film.
