The narrative gives a glimpse of a humble household in India where Ajay, a garland maker, and his sister Mamta, a mehendi artist, struggle to make ends meet. She is getting bald patches, which makes it increasingly difficult for Ajay to find a suitable groom for her, which causes constant conflicts between the two. The film juxtaposes the cause and effect of cultural policing by the local extremist groups, amidst the daily struggles of food and shelter of the majority, leading to a haunting climax. It raises the inevitable question about who is going to draw a line to what is socially acceptable love?
