During the parent-child race at Sanaya's school, Sanaya is abducted. The kidnapper demands that Anuradha defend a convicted felon in four days to win back her daughter. To keep law enforcement out of the crisis early, Anuradha lies to her family and friends, telling them Sanaya is staying with her grandmother.

As investigators close in, Niyaaz Shaikh is charged with rape and murder of Sia; the case is prepared to go to trial within days. The public pressure grows as the hearing looms.

Anuradha accepts to defend Niyaaz under duress while concealing Sanaya's whereabouts from family and authorities. This decision binds her to a dangerous game of timing and leverage with the kidnapper. She tries to balance motherhood and legal duty amid mounting pressure.

Anuradha enlists Yohan, a cop with a checkered past, to navigate the corrupt elements and find leads. Together they combine legal strategy with street-smart tactics to outpace the kidnapper's demands. Their alliance marks a shift from courtroom to the street.

Mahesh Maklai pushes the case into the national spotlight, bringing in Ronit, a renowned public prosecutor who previously clashed with Anuradha. The framing of Sia's case as a public duty intensifies pressure on the defense. The political machinery begins to influence evidence and narrative.

Anuradha digs into the case, contacting Sia's mother Garima Chaudhary and learning hidden links between the players. She discovers that Sam, Mahesh's son, had dated Sia, and Niyaaz supplied drugs that led to Sia's death. The truth starts to unravel the web of motives.

One evening, Anuradha is grabbed by Mahesh's henchmen and trapped in her own home. They attempt to cut gas lines and burn the house to erase witnesses and force a confession. She escapes, but the threat underscores the high stakes and danger surrounding the case.

In the courtroom, Anuradha argues for Niyaaz's bail while exploiting gaps in the prosecution's case. Her strategy relies on exposing political meddling and the real links to Sia's death. The hearing becomes a battleground for truth against a powerful machine.

Niyaaz is granted bail and released, and Sanaya is safely returned to Anuradha's care. However, Sanaya suffers an allergic reaction requiring urgent medical attention, a sobering reminder of the personal costs of the case. The immediate danger to Sanaya is alleviated, but the moral crisis lingers.

The investigation reveals that Garima Chaudhary was behind the kidnapping all along, driven by a brutal desire for retribution against Niyaaz and those around Sia. She orchestrates the act to punish the man she holds responsible, not a random criminal. The case shifts from defense to moral reckoning.

Garima's motive becomes clear: worse punishment for Niyaaz is her answer to the crime. The film probes the ethics of revenge and the limits of justice as Anuradha contemplates the consequences of righteous anger.

In a surprising turn, Anuradha extends her legal services to Garima when she is taken into custody, recognizing that healing and true justice may require mercy alongside law. The act reframes justice as a process that includes compassion for the injured and the powerful alike. The narrative closes on the tension between vengeance and mercy.
