After some time they both become intimate and everything is glossy and colorful in their life. However, after some months, their illusion breaks. Both start to fight over the smallest things.

Development

The film is based on the personal life experiences of director Faisal Hashmi, and deals with the psychological differences between male and female and their respective thinking processes during relationship. This movie is a comedic satire about the never ending fight of "Logic vs. Emotion" between male and female.[3][4]

Most of the movie contains voice over, that's why the director, Faisal Hashmi wanted an actor who has excellent command on language. Hence by the request of producer Sanjay Raval, Dhvanit Thaker was approached for the lead role and he said "yes" in the very first meeting.[1][5] Bhakti Kubavat was signed as a leading lady,[4] and noted Bollywood actor Kurush Deboo was signed for one of the very important role.[2]

Filming

Shooting of the film started on 7 May 2015 in Palanpur and successfully completed its first schedule.[6] Second schedule was delayed due to unavailability of some artists. Gradually the second schedule was also successfully completed in August 2015.[7]
