Plot

In an early scene, he will be seen struggling to hit the right high note of a complex raaga. And as the episodes roll, you will notice that the series follows much the same thing as that of Radhe in the first scene.

On the other hand, far apart from Radhe’s world, it belongs to Tamanna (played by Shreya Chaudhury), a city-bred pop star and an internet sensation. With the dream of singing with her idol, international music star Queen Ali, she desperately strives to unravel the path of delivering blockbusters so that her dream comes true.
