In the rugged hills of a Maharashtra village, Vir Jagannath Mhatre nurtures an audacious vision that seems worlds away from the dust‑covered fields he knows so well. He imagines a low‑cost airline that could lift ordinary people into the sky, turning air travel from a distant luxury into a common right. The film’s backdrop blends the quiet, timeless rhythm of rural life with the sleek, bustling corridors of Indian aviation, setting up a contrast that fuels both humor and tension.

Family ties deepen the stakes for Vir. His father, a gentle teacher devoted to change through education, represents a quieter philosophy that clashes with his son’s restless drive for immediate, tangible reform. Their conversations ripple with generational ideals, highlighting the push and pull between patient perseverance and bold disruption. This dynamic establishes an emotional core that steadies Vir’s soaring ambitions with grounded, heartfelt concerns.

Enter Radhikka Madan, a resilient baker whose own refusal to settle for conventional expectations mirrors Vir’s determination. Their partnership is built on mutual respect and shared defiance of societal expectations, offering both a personal anchor and a collaborative spark for the dream they nurture together. Their bond hints at a partnership where love and entrepreneurship intertwine, adding warmth to the narrative’s otherwise high‑flying aspirations.

The tone of the story balances gritty realism with soaring optimism. While the aviation world looms large with its bureaucratic labyrinths and entrenched powers, the film never loses sight of the human desire to bridge divides. Vir’s quest feels both intimate—a son’s promise to his community—and universal, a reminder that even the most audacious dreams can begin in the humblest of places. The journey ahead promises challenges, hope, and a relentless belief that the sky should belong to everyone.
