What is the film’s story?
The film’s story begins with the kidnapping of a high-profile VIP’s daughter and the daughter of a maid working in her household. Rani Mukerji reprises her role as Shivani Shivaji Roy. After making a powerful entry in a case involving the trafficking of women for drugs, Shivani takes charge of this “save the daughter” case. During her investigation, Shivani becomes entangled in a deep and terrifying conspiracy. One crime after another is uncovered, all leading back to a formidable matriarch, Amma (Mallika Prasad). Just as Shivani believes she is getting closer to the truth, she realizes the case is far more complex than it appears. Numerous crimes, previously buried beneath the surface, come to light. The abuse of trust and power, the revelation of bitter truths, and the raising of crucial social issues form the heart of this film.
