Set in the beautiful islands of Lakshadweep, Aazhi is a story of courage, friendship, and self-discovery. It follows Anwar, a 17-year-old boy who has always been afraid of the ocean. His fear comes from a tragic past—his father, a fisherman, died in a boat accident, leaving him and his mother alone.

Anwar’s best friend, Rubeena, dreams of seeing the coral reefs that surround their island like a protective wall. But for Anwar, the idea of going into the sea is terrifying. When Rubeena asks him to take her to the reefs, he faces a big choice—stay trapped by his fear or find the courage to face it. With encouragement from a friend, Anwar pushes himself to overcome his fear. After much struggle, he succeeds, returning home stronger and more confident.
