The film, released in India on November 22 after a successful international run, follows the lives of three women working in a Mumbai hospital. Starring Divya Prabha, Kani Kusruti, and Chhaya Kadam, it delicately explores themes of friendship, resilience, and human connection.

The story centres on Prabha’s (Kani) character, who receives an unexpected gift from her estranged husband, and Anu (Divya), her young roommate navigating an intimate relationship. The narrative captures the challenges and emotional depth of urban life while celebrating the bond between the women.
