INT. CAR-DAYTIME

A young couple, named Lakshmi and Sreehari, are driving towards their new flat in their car. They are trying to locate their flat, and seem confused with the direction.

He has the same sombre expression. Sreehari fakes a smile and shrugging, walks in through the door with Lakshmi.

Both of them are dragging a trolley suitcase each as we
