==Plot== In a time when the government decides to boost women's role in politics by setting quotas, there's Annasaheb, an experienced MLA for thirty years. He looks to his bright daughter, Vasudha, and urges her to step into his shoes, thinking it will ensure that things remain unchanged for their family. However, as Vasudha gets deeper into the role, she realizes it's more of a puppet position, with her father pulling the strings.
While Vasudha's brother starts causing more trouble, the family chooses to ignore it. Things take a dark turn when Vasudha's college friend, Sameer Shinde, speaks out against the family. This doesn't sit well with them, leading to Sameer's tragic murder.
This heartbreaking event becomes the turning point for Vasudha. Faced with injustice and family ties that seem to have lost their essence, she makes a firm decision. Despite the emotional turmoil, she vows to uncover Sameer's killer and bring them to justice, even if it means cutting off connections with her own family.
