Trial Period 2023

"Trial Period" is a charming romantic comedy that explores the themes of love, commitment, and the complexities of modern relationships in the digital age. The story centers around two individuals, Raghav and Simran, who meet under unconventional circumstances and are forced to navigate the uncertain waters of romance with a unique twist.

Raghav, a young and ambitious man, is a typical millennial juggling his career, social life, and a love for technology. He’s disillusioned with the traditional idea of relationships and commitment, having seen his friends struggle with long-term commitments. His approach to romance is casual and filled with skepticism, focusing more on short-term flings than any lasting emotional connections.

Simran, on the other hand, is a successful and independent woman who believes in true love and finding someone she can build a future with. After a series of failed relationships, she is wary of entering into anything serious, but she is looking for someone who shares her values and vision for the future.

The twist in their relationship begins when they both decide to participate in an unconventional dating experiment. In an attempt to avoid the pitfalls of traditional dating, they enter into a "trial period" relationship—a unique concept where they agree to date each other for a set amount of time, during which they can test their compatibility without the pressure of commitment. They treat their relationship like an experiment, with a predefined "start" and "end" date, and set rules about emotional involvement and expectations.
