Four people- Tilottima, Salim, Rahul and Rajubhai from 4 disparate worlds of dissimilar backgrounds. The runaway bride, Tilottima Punj is on top of the world because she's married Hemant, who she met and loved through the Internet. In spite of their sizzling chemistry, their honeymoon is cut short because he has to return to his job in USA. Now Tilottima will do what it takes- fight with mother-in-law, lie to the immigration officer- just to wing her way back into her husband's arms.

The fugitive stockbroker, Salim Rajabali is the stockbroker son of a Godmother. He's besotted by the much older but sensuous Namrata. Even as he involuntarily gets involved in a killing, he discovers that she has been cheating on him. Before the shattered man can gather his wits, his mother forces him to pack his bags and flee the country before he's implicated further. The excited student, Rahul Bhide is a brilliant but poor student who's already got admission into a prestigious university abroad.

Almost overnight, almost magically, all his problems get sorted out and he finds himself flying out to a brighter future.

The uncomplicated showman, Rajubhai Patel is a small time organizer of foreign shows. To be a part of his show will cost an aspiring dancer/singer a few cool lakhs. But nobody is complaining, least of all, Rajubhai. Till old flame Tara has to mortgage her house to pay him the money to take her only daughter into his show. And so the seasoned and hardened Rajubhai finds himself fathering a wide-eyed, innocent girl on her first trip abroad.

Strings is an exquisite travelogue love story. Warren Hastings, a British youth who has been persuaded to experience the Mahakumbh at the behest of his email friend, Maya, a cosmopolitan and Indian urban girl. Warren has another mission though. Warren is plagued by a sort of unfulfilled quest, for an understanding of the mysticism of India, beyond his realms of imagination. This has been nurtured within him by the writings of his grandfather in a personal diary written during his posting in India. Warren is a sensitive person and hence has set upon a journey to unravel the secrets. His quest is provoked by the reasoning of his grandfather as written in the personal diary.

Warren then meets Krishna, the only child of a temple priest Pandit Dinanath. Pandit Dinanath a widower has brought up Krishna since the loss of his wife at child birth. Krishna is filled with a sort of guilt and remorse because of her mother’s death for which she unconsciously blames herself. Pandit Dinanath by his teaching and logic has freed Krishna from her guilt. Krishna has grown up with an essence of Indian culture and its values, holding firm opinion and respect for her culture and religious traditions.
Krishna is a blend of having imbibed the richness of Indian culture while fitting in with contemporary life and thinking. Warren and Krishna meet in the backdrop of chaos and conflicts. Their diversity soon brings them close to each other, and is soon privy to the orchestrations of love. For her to accept the feelings she has for Warren and gives in to a forbidden love, is difficult. She does so define the tenets of her upbringing. Their life is blissful and stands tall to the power of togetherness until one day Krishna sheds her inhibitions and succumbs to her feelings. It is the tale of a girl who stands tall to the virtue of love and who is ready to shed her ethos even to the extent of defying her father, who has sacrificed his whole life for her happiness. The most hurtful aspect is the need to question her father, who has been her single minded support in life. An intriguing thought definitely is from where Krishna gathers this inner strength.
