The two protagonists are inconveniently named Jia, but their similarities end there. As different as chalk and cheese, Jia – played by Kalki Koechlin – is carefree, wild, and a little too naughty. Jia – played by Richa Chadda – is a banker, plays it safe, and is the last person to get into any trouble. The two embark on a journey in Sweden together, and tolerate each other’s quirks.
The trailer gives us a peek into their trip; they travel across scenic locations in Sweden, and Kalki’s Jia even gives Richa’s Jia some vodka to battle her allergies. No water, plain, raw, vodka. That sets the tone for the film, and soon enough, the male lead – Arslan Gori – is introduced.

But the trailer takes a dark turn, one involving Richa’s Jia. Scion of a business group, it is believed that she led the company to lose it all. She event attempts to kill herself many times, with the focus shifting on Kalki’s Jia waiting at the hospital.
Perhaps Kalki’s Jia helps Richa’s Jia gain some confidence, and Richa’s Jia teaches Kalki’s Jia a thing or two about life, and finance maybe?
Directed by Howard Rosemeyer, the travel-based film is set to arrive this winter in theatres.
