Plot

The film begins with a satellite moving into the darker side of the Moon. One of the Indian satellites, Mihira, has lost connection with the Space Station and is losing speed. This would lead to a collision with Chinese satellite and would lead to chain reaction resulting in a communication blackout across the world. The system codes to make repairs is known only to Dev - a passionate scientist at the station, who had quit the Space program five years ago. He was in love with the Station Director Chandrakanth's daughter, Paaru, a school teacher. He passionately works on Viprayaan, a satellite that will give data about water in the Moon. There is a glitch in the satellite after its takeoff and Dev drives to the space station to fix it, along with his fiancee. He loses control of the car in his rush and meets with an accident, losing both the satellite and his fiancée. This breaks him and he quits his job. He is now needed to fix Mihira and he comes back after five years from his life as a school teacher as part of the mission and manages to fix the critical glitch with the help of Riya, his colleague.
