Plot Summary
Harij, a newlywed, is eager for dowry gifts that never arrive, while his wife Sajili, trapped in an unwanted marriage, detests his insatiable appetite for intimacy. Harij, frustrated by her reluctance, enlists Leila, a bold and pragmatic sex worker, to "train" Sajili in "marital duties". What begins as an unorthodox intervention, spiral into a sinister plot when Leila uncovers Harij’s chilling plans for dowry-related murder. And Leila is no ordinary bystander. Viewed by society through a lens of stigma, she steps into the role of a protector. In a clever twist, Leila offers Sajili a dangerous escape—faking her suicide and framing Harij. Can Sajili escape the patriarchal nightmare, claiming her independence, her hidden dowry, and her lover, leaving Harij and his greed exposed?
