Arjun has an old friend in Coonoor who helps him get out of the steaming pot environment in his house. The sons on the other hand have their own battles with the parents, and with each other. Their parents get into quarrels over their financial situation, ending marriage, and other bad decisions. The brothers have returned to the same old home, but with totally different dynamics. Furthermore, the family is going through a severe financial crunch as well. Their parents no longer sleep in the same room and their father seems to have developed a relationship with a long time family friend, which is making their mom uncomfortable. The brothers arrive in India to find that their little family isn't as perfect as they had imagined. Rahul is clearly the perfect one, loved by all, Arjun seems like the neglected one who according to the family is too immature/irresponsible to take decisions. Their arrival in India quickly unfolds their individual relations with their parents as well. The awkwardness and tension between them is apparent from the word go. These two brothers aren't exactly the 'inseparable' brother duo we are used to seeing in our movies.

Arjun is also an aspiring writer, living in New Jersey, clearly struggling to make ends meet. On the other hand is his younger brother Arjun. Rahul, for his age, seems to have built a pretty good life for himself a good looking man, doing very well professionally, living in a swanky apartment in London, and also planning to pursue architecture along with writing. Rahul and Arjun have returned back home to Coonoor to be with their grandfather in his last few days, after he has a heart attack at the age of 90.
