Every college has an Iswaran – the student who seems to be growing roots in the same class. The target for fellow – students taunts and even his own parents skepticism. Ishwaran is a lonely, tormented soul. He tries to mask his feelings with jaunty defiance, but underneath he remains hopelessly scared by failure, desperately longing and praying for success. He seeks escape in the cinema, trying to lose his woes in the world of make – believe. Torn between the desire to see his name among the successful students, and the fear of failure, he contemplates and then discards the idea of suicide. However fate has something in store for Iswaran; an ending that takes us all by.
