The story follows Anwar, who, soon after his marriage, continues his studies at Aligarh Muslim University. During this period, the Babri Masjid demolition sparks a radical shift in his beliefs, and he slides into fundamentalism. His wife, an educated Muslim woman Sameera, tries to steer him away from extremism and restore his previous gentleness, but the pull toward a harsher path proves hard to resist.
Instead of finding reform through dialogue, Anwar opts for a route that lands him in prison, where a new chapter begins and the possibility of a fresh start emerges. The narrative threads through the broader aftermath of both the Babri Masjid demolition and the Gujarat riots, setting a tense backdrop for the personal transformation at the center of the film.
