Three mavericks Aditya, an IAS topper, Siddhanta, a Harvard drop-out and Devanjali, a top-notch media-woman, by a combination of circumstances, come to a remote village and set up ‘The Ara Club’, the secret meeting place that attracts some of the best young professionals of India who nurture similar ambitions of systemic changes. Together, they work out a formidable new-age movement, the ‘Post-Gandhian Movement’, which happens to be full with stunning ideas of change. Soon, it catches the fancy of the urban middle-class and the rural India alike and snowballs into a great revolution which demolishes various stereotypes of Indian politics and society and goes to establish the new version of democracy, called ‘Democracy 2.0’ that meets the aspirations of a modern India. But, will they succeed in ushering in a systemic change or will the forces of the status-quo, led by a powerful ruling family and its protégé Prime Minister, destroy them? Will Devanjali get the chance to express her love for Aditya, the leader she had so diligently created? A powerful saga of love, passion, renunciation and hope expressing itself through the macabre socio-political reality of the day.
