Mom story (no spoilers)
Devki Sabarwal (Sridevi) is a biology teacher whose stepdaughter Arya (Sajal Ali) is sexually assaulted at a party. Four young men are arrested but walk free, leaving Devki furious and determined to destroy their lives. She takes matters into her own hands, setting off a tense crime thriller that follows a mother's quest for justice outside the legal system. The film balances emotional family drama with a dark, revenge-driven plot, as Devki's actions draw the attention of a persistent police officer, Matthew Francis (Akshaye Khanna), and a shady character named Daya Shankar "DK" Kapoor (Nawazuddin Siddiqui). The tone is serious and gripping, focusing on a mother's love and the lengths she will go to protect her child. The story unfolds over 147 minutes, exploring themes of trauma, revenge, and maternal instinct.
