The events unfold in the pandemic era, with lockdowns and economic strain weighing on migrant workers. The factory environment amplifies fear, uncertainty, and the rush to secure a better future by migrating. The period provides a tense backdrop for accusations, surveillance, and the struggle for truth.

Set in Noida during the pandemic, the story unfolds around a glove factory where migrant workers live and work under pressure. The B Block area becomes a focal point for concealed operations, including the substitution racket that harms workers. Later, the offer of jobs in Malaysia reveals a cross-border dream turned negotiation weapon.

🔎 Truth

Truth becomes the central battleground as a leaked video drags Reshmi’s name into doubt. The investigation navigates the factory’s spaces, including the B Block, and should-be-pledging bangle clues, revealing how appearances can be manipulated. The narrative questions what is real when rumors spread faster than facts. The real victim’s fate reframes the entire story and shifts the moral center.

💼 Exploitation

The glove replacement racket shows workers being exploited for corporate gain. The owners wield authority to suppress whistleblowing, offering false promises of new jobs abroad to buy silence. Wages, safety, and dignity are sacrificed to cut costs, exposing systemic abuse in the facility.

⚖️ Justice

The authorities discourage the complaint, placing the burden of proof on the accuser. The system’s inertia protects the powerful and complicates accountability. Reshmi and Hareesh push forward, highlighting the obstacles to justice faced by vulnerable workers.

🌟 Resilience

Reshmi refuses to withdraw her complaint, choosing dignity over expediency. She balances personal safety with moral resolve, insisting that the truth and the victim’s family deserve respect. The narrative emphasizes perseverance and solidarity as a counterweight to coercion.
