Faiza Sufiya joins Delhi University as a research student, focusing on Abdurahiman Sahib, a freedom fighter from Malabar. She quickly connects with Amal and a group of politically active students. Tulsa, her roommate, is introduced as the first person from her scheduled caste to pursue higher studies.

A group of activists and anti-fascists organize protests for the rights of Rohan, a student from a scheduled caste. Faiza becomes involved, aligning with Amal and the others. The campus grows more politically charged as the movement gains momentum.

The friends attend Tulsa's brother's wedding, bridging personal life with their political commitments. The celebration reinforces their camaraderie and shows that activism and family life intertwine in their university world.

Faiza conducts a seminar that sparks strong reactions from the fascists on campus. The fascists attempt to discredit her and shut down dialogue, signaling a harsher turn in campus politics. Her actions mark a turning point in the students' willingness to challenge authority.

The killing of Tulsa's brother over a cow triggers grief and unrest on campus. Protests erupt as the tragedy deepens the community's resolve to confront injustice.

In the wake of the tragedy, Faiza and her friends lead the entire student body in support of Tulsa. Even as most students rally to the cause, the fascist faction maintains their opposition. Tulsa has returned home to mourn.

With backing from Pothuvaal, they decide to stage a skit that highlights the struggles of backward communities. The plan aims to raise awareness, provoke empathy, and mobilize opinion across the campus. They choose a central campus venue to reach a wide audience.

As other members cannot be attacked, Faiza becomes the target of the fascists. They fabricate accusations that she is anti-nationalist, attempting to tarnish her reputation.

The smear campaign escalates, and Faiza is branded anti-nationalist worldwide. The group goes into hiding to protect her while planning a legal and public response.

Despite their best efforts, Faiza is arrested by the police, though the arrest is not officially recorded. The event shocks the group and becomes a catalyst for mounting media attention.

Amal, Aadarsh, Pothuvaal, and Faiza's grandfather—himself a former freedom fighter—join forces to locate her. They coordinate with allies and explore avenues to secure her safety and rights.

Mass media pressure forces the police to reveal Faiza's arrest, and she is produced in court. The public exposure increases pressure on authorities and galvanizes support for Faiza.

In a last-minute bid to stop the skit, the fascists orchestrate arrests of the skit members. The move aims to derail the performance and silence the protesters.

Despite the disruptions, Amal and Aadarsh manage to stage part of the skit, delivering a powerful message. The audience witnesses a partial performance that maintains the protest's core critique.

At the crucial moment, Faiza arrives on stage and finishes the skit, delivering its final message. The completion of the performance, despite opposition, underscores the group’s resilience and resolve.
