Plot
editHavan is a story about a devotee and God. It is true that one unites with God only after one's life, but what if a devotee meets her God in real life? Not only that, what if she is connected to him through a relationship? Havan tries to deal with such a relationship and tries to explore relationships built around this premise.
Havan, although a story of God and devotee, is not a religious show. Instead, it tries to understand the human side of the whole set up, the interrelationships, the conflicts within, the idea of faith and belief, and the power of love. It deals with a gamut of human emotions in our society, without getting judgmental about the society or a person in particular.[3]
