SYNOPSIS: The story of a love triangle among three characters: Kazi, a third standard failed young man from Mustang dreams of marrying Maiya, daughter of his maternal uncle. Maiya, a high school student, is peeved by Kazi’s idiotic behavior. This disappoints Kazi but never disheartens him. Supported by his two childhood friends, Beekay and Chantyal, he finally decides to marry Maiya through “capture marriage,” which is illegal but still practiced in some ethnic communities in Nepal. To find her long-gone father and to continue her studies in Kathmandu, Maiya elopes with a visitor named Bibek. Inflamed by her disappearance, Kazi heads to Kathmandu in search of Maiya and finds himself trapped in a city conspiracy.
