Set against the backdrop of rural India, Kaalidhar Laapata revolves around an ageing man who decides to elope after learning about his family's plan to abandon him.

Together, they embark on a spontaneous road trip, tackling a series of adventures and checking off bucket-list experiences on the way.
The film has been bankrolled by Monisha Advani and Madhu Bhojwani under the banners of Zee Studios and Emmay Entertainment.
