The story follows Somnath (played by Vikram Chatterjee), who returns to his ancestral village after 18 years. A simple visit that soon turns into a journey of rediscovery and of love, roots, and the charm of simpler days. Somnath reunites with Rai (played by Devlina Kumar), his childhood love, and reconnects with his family and community during the joyous festival season.
The film captures how festivals bring families together, reminding us of bonds that time and distance may blur, but never break. Raas portrays the contrast between the fast-paced, demanding life in cities and the peaceful, meaningful moments of rural life.
