Set in Aligarh, this Hindi-language drama follows Dr. Ramchandra Siras, a university professor whose private life is exposed after journalists secretly film him with another man, leading to his suspension and public humiliation. A young Delhi-based reporter investigates the incident and grows increasingly troubled by the unfairness of the case, while activists and a lawyer step in to help Siras fight for his reinstatement through the courts. The story unfolds against the backdrop of India's shifting legal stance on Section 377 and its treatment of homosexuality.
