Overview
Ray, 24, is back from college and has a decent job as a financial analyst, well on his way to a colorless routine that his wealthy parents would be proud of. All he needs now is to find that perfect match, fall in love, get married, have kids and well, you know the drill... But that's the thing – despite the imminent normalcy, Ray is of the staunch opinion that he is an average looking guy. He thinks his face is odd and asymmetrical, and this clearly means that no girl will ever even look at him. He's got the perfect job, but what's the point if he can't so much as make eye contact with a woman without absolutely freaking out?
In moments of panic, Ray turns to Wiz, a toy wizard. Wiz serves as Ray's inner voice, questioning every inch of his life. Wiz is in many ways, a higher power, integral to Ray's ethos, but of course, even he cannot help Ray.
Love travels at the speed of light these days. A young man like Ray could go from liking a girl's picture on Instagram, to falling in love with her, to feeling heartbroken, in the space of minutes. Are things easier for all the hopeless romantics out there, or have they actually become infinitely more complicated? Is Ray truly looking for love or does he just want to have sex? Romance is extremely important to Ray, but there is nothing romantic about the way he goes about looking for love.
When Ray decides to do something about his single status, he kickstarts an adventure that he is unable to handle, when his parents, full of hope, set him up with a close family friend's daughter.
Ray is helped along the way by his best friend Riya, the type of girl that Ray would probably be in love with if he hadn't known her for so long; his closest colleague Varun, a confident and handsome version of Ray; and his parents Gaurav and Meena, riding the carousel of their successful married lives, constantly arguing and yet somehow dropping great advice when Ray least expects it and most needs it.
But despite it all, when Ray stands before a beautiful young woman waiting expectantly for something to come out of his mouth, everything disappears. There's no city, no dating apps, no parents, no friends, and no inner voice.
It's just Ray. Eternally confused and eager for love.

Reception
