Mehak Deo, Radhika Apte, is a highly talented artist whose life takes a dark turn after a traumatic event—being molested by a taxi driver—that leaves her battling a severe form of agoraphobia, a deep fear of public spaces and crowded social life. This anxiety reshapes her days and makes even routine interactions feel overwhelming. Her sister, Anusha, Nivedita Bhattacharya, initially stands by her side, offering support, but the weight of Mehak’s peculiarity wears on her, especially as it starts affecting her own 5-year-old son and daily life.
