The trailer opens up in a village, where a drama company has arrived to organise and perform the first-ever Ram-Leela show in that place. The male protagonist, Raja Ram Joshi, essayed by Pratik, is excited to join in and play the role of Ram, but somehow ends up playing Raavan. He falls in love with the girl who is playing Seeta, essayed by Aindrita Ray, and the trailer captures moments of their budding romance and the fun and frolic during the Ram-Leela theatre practices. 

The second half of the trailer gives a glimpse of the conflict, the obstacles imposed by the societal norms against their romantic relationship. Raja and Seeta's  story comes to a standstill to make people think and differentiate the gap between a real and reel life due to their blind faith and mental blocks, their fake religious beliefs were affecting their thoughts and actions against the couple
