It follows the life of Krishna Bhagata, a local bread supplier whose daily rounds connect three families in a bustling housing complex. As the pandemic tightens its grip, their intertwined lives unravel in three dramatic phases. The first act pulls back the curtain on a clandestine affair between Arjun’s wife and Aru’s husband, exposing secrets. Next, we see Krishna caught in a financial squeeze when Sushma, urged on by her ambitious TV journalist son Akash, demands repayment of a loan.
The final phase brings us into the home of the Seths, where three generations of women – the elderly Leela, her daughter-in-law Naina, and teenage granddaughter Siya – grapple with simmering tensions and conflicting desires. As the lockdown intensifies, each character faces a crucible that will test their resilience, relationships, and understanding of themselves.

Through the intertwined stories of our characters, we explore how crisis can bring out both the best and the most challenging aspects of human nature. This film is a tribute to the strength of every human out there and the bonds that connect us, even when physically apart. I am confident that audiences will see a bit of themselves in these characters and find inspiration in their journeys.
