Join Anurag and his grandmother as they take a wild ride.

Twelve-year-old Anurag‘s life script has been written: no music, no movies, no masti — only maths (And its equally horrendous cousins). Into this tedious existence enters Anurag’s Naani like a well-meaning tsunami. She is a fighting fit 62 going on 26 vision, with the heart of a six-year-old, the mind of a Machiavellian and the chutzpah of a teenager. Naani , Anurag and his friends Smriti and Sameer team up with a group of differently-abled kids and senior citizens to prove that impossible is really nothing!
