Adithya Varma

The film sits in contemporary times, reflecting modern medical education, relationships, and family dynamics. It traverses urban and hospital settings that mirror current Indian social norms and pressures. The narrative grounds itself in a recognizable, up-to-date milieu rather than a historical period.

The story unfolds primarily in Mangalore, a coastal city in Karnataka known for its educational institutions and dynamic urban life. It later shifts to Mussoorie, a hill station in Uttarakhand, where Adithya pursues advanced medical training. Domestic spaces like Meera's home and the hospital environment provide the backdrop for the central romance and social tensions.
