Melur hails from an EnglishMalaysian family. Her passion is singing, and talent she sharpens by serenading her family at the breakfast table. Meanwhile Melur's chauffer, a motorbike-riding, hearing impaired student named Mahesh, ensures that the young singer reaches her rehearsals in time, and smitten guitarist Hafiz pines for Melur from afar while tending to his ailing mother. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
