- Summary:
- A newlywed couple find refuge in a small room in the center of New Delhi. They've escaped from their families and from the network of social norms which condemn their love. There to help them is Mr. Sachdev. He is an ex-journalist who now leads the Love Commandos, an activist group which helps young couples to escape persecution from India's ancient tradition of prohibiting marriage outside one's caste or religion. Even now with caste system having been legally abolished, young couples in mixed marriages continue to risk their lives. The Love Commandos offer safe refuge, legal support and organize secret weddings for couples known better as inseparable: the Lovebirds.
