In bustling Delhi, a modest DDA flat shelters a family whose daily rhythm is set to the hum of a city that never pauses. The story follows Santosh Duggal, a devoted schoolteacher whose modest salary is stretched thin by rising costs and the quiet expectations of a middle‑class life. His world is one of measured routine, punctuated by the warmth of a home that teeters between frugality and the simple desire for dignity.

Around him, Kusum Duggal keeps the household afloat, having set aside her own career to tend to the family’s needs. Their teenage daughter Payal dreams of the sleek gadgets and social world that seem just out of reach, while their son Sandeep navigates the pressures of school and the lure of quick, unofficial earnings. Together they form a close‑knit unit where laughter often masks the strain of tight finances, and where each member’s aspirations are both a source of hope and gentle tension. The tone blends gentle humor with earnest pathos, painting a portrait of everyday resilience.

At the heart of the narrative lies a modest ambition: acquiring a reliable car that would grant the family a sense of respect and practical freedom. This goal becomes a quiet catalyst, urging the Duggals to balance their integrity with the pressing need to provide for one another. The film captures the delicate dance of aspiration and honesty, set against the backdrop of a bustling Indian metropolis where ordinary lives intersect with larger economic currents. As the family navigates the obstacles before them, their bond and steadfast values promise a story that feels both universally relatable and warmly specific.
