Vanvaas is a slice of life musical drama about a strained relationship set in the quaint by-lanes and terrace homes in Old Delhi of India.

When a twenty something Suhel fails his graduation one more time, it evokes an unprecedented aggression from his financially strained father Manmohan. Suhel too lashes out accusing Manmohan of not having provided them enough through his paltry job. Nothing remains the same after that moment...

Both 'men' refuse to see eye to eye anymore, much to Suhel's mother and Manmohan's wife - Sudha's dismay. Despite her best efforts, Manmohan and Suhel hold on their bruised ego's falling further away from one another. 

But they say, sometimes the most improbable a problem unravels itself in the innocence of love, not necessarily for each other.

Vanvaas is this bittersweet story of this generation gap and ideologue differences of an Old Delhi family, that needed only a bridge of a Common Love to overcome.
