,Manushi A poignant cinematic reflection is how ordinary lives can be torn when systemic prejudices and state machinery collide in moments of political doubt. In its heart, the film narrates the story of a humble father and his young daughter, who finds herself in a police dragnet only because they lease their minor property to three women – later branded as extremists, “written by the judge.
