At the tender age of 6, Malhar embarks on a solo journey to visit his aunt in Mumbai for the 5-day Ganesh festival, while his parents are engrossed in their office commitments.

The mockery leaves a lasting impact, making him acutely aware of his left-handedness and feeling like an outsider in the societal norm.
Seething with frustration, Malhar directs his resentment towards his mother, whom he perceives as having neglected to teach him the expected social norms of favoring the right hand. Driven by a sense of vengeance, this determined 6-year-old resolves to transform himself into a right-handed individual, determined to prove his capability to adapt independently.
The innocent journey of self-transformation unfolds with a series of self-inflicted disappointments, unforeseen hardships, and even life-threatening challenges as Malhar endeavors to conform to the right-handed societal expectations, all in the pursuit of acknowledgment and acceptance.
