Synopsis : Kalyani is a young cook who lives with her ailing aunt and a young man in a rundown agraharam in South India. Each day is the same – she gets up, tends to her aunt, rushes to cook for a single man in a flat and a joint family in a neighbouring large house, and then returns home to listen to the fantastic stories of the young man. And the next day it starts again. But each day is not the same too. As the romance of poetry ignites a passion, as the stories of other worlds stirs a desire, as sharks close in and death draws near, Run Kalyani builds into an intense crescendo of grief and grit, sorrow and strength.
