Aadhira : The land of six roses

In the middle of a never ending war, being fought for centuries, Arjun, a soldier of the Indian side finds himself stuck as his field radio fails to function. Much to the displeasure of other soldiers, he tries to establish communication, only to be rebuked by his seniors for keeping up his constant chatter. Deep into the night, his radio mysteriously picks up an enemy frequency and Arjun is greeted by the voice of a woman asking for his identification. As they realise the gravity of the situation, both Arjun and Mariam, the enemy soldier, falls into a deep conversation bordering on threats that slowly transforms into a blooming romance. In the heart of war, Arjun and Mariam fall in love like Romeo and Juliet.
