unHoli centres on Rohan, who hates the festival of Holi, but when a Holi reveler breaks down his door and tries to eat his brains, Rohan realises that this is no ordinary Holi. The zombie apocalypse has begun and the festival of colors is overrun by a deep, dark crimson red. Now it is up to Rohan to travel through the zombie infested streets of Delhi to rescue his girlfriend, Mia, trapped in Gurgaon. |
