Despite their old age and health issues, they venture to reach the base camp of Mt Everest. Shraddha i.e Parineeti Chopra, their trekking instructor guides them to reach their destination. This is what constitutes the main plot of the story but there are several layers of individual backstories in the movie.

The strength of this movie lies in its unique and out-of-the-box storyline. Both its story and screenplay are marvelous. In the Second half of the movie each back story gets unwrapped, layers get unfolded, and as a result, the audience gets delighted

Although the trekking portion of the movie covers a large portion, the audience never gets bored or exasperated. The drama in the Second half of the movie is outstanding. Abhishek Dixit's dialogues bear witness to his craftsmanship
