Hailing from a middle-class\n family, Pankaj believes that his life is all sorted-get an engineering\n degree; marry the love of his life, Riya; and settle down for a\n ‘happily-ever-after’ in Delhi. But when Riya decides to go abroad for further\n studies, his plan goes for a toss. Still determined to keep to the plan, he\n promises to wait for her. After settling in Jamshedpur, though, he becomes\n close to his boss’s daughter, Kajal, and starts assisting in her social work.\n In the midst of the changing economic and religious environment of India in\n the 1990s, he undertakes a journey, which not only gives him a peek into\n rural life but also a new and focused perspective on life and love. Love Side\n by Side not only gives a glimpse of India in the ‘90s, but also demonstrates\n why sometimes the failure of a well-laid-out plan can be the best thing to\n happen in life.
