Summary

''Faadu'' is a story of a man belonging to progressive India who lies in the middle of choices that need validation. He is stuck between the fabric of economic upgrade and true love. Abhay is an angry poet and dreamer who aspires to be the hero of his rags-to-riches story, in no time. In this ambitious journey of need and greed, he falls in love with Manjiri, a poet with a different life philosophy. In an era of people running behind their ambitious selves, will Abhay choose love and simplicity or lean towards money and complexity? ''Faadu'' attempts to answer this very quest of mankind - ‘It does not matter where you are born. Your destiny lies in your hands.' But what if our self-written destiny goes completely wrong and you want to return to where it all started?
