In a sun‑baked stretch of Punjab, a sprawling ancestral estate has long defined the identity of a powerful family. When the patriarch, Kishan Singh, a self‑made multi‑millionaire, drafts a will that parcels his wealth unequally between his two sons, the balance of the household tilts on a razor’s edge. The document does more than allocate land; it surfaces long‑buried grievances and sets the stage for a simmering rivalry that threatens to eclipse generations.

The two brothers, Gajjan and Dulla, embody contrasting visions of legacy. Gajjan embodies duty and a measured stewardship of the property, while Dulla feels robbed of his rightful share, fueling an undercurrent of resentment that spreads to their children. At the heart of this tension lies Shravan, Gajjan’s son, who inherits a particular farm that becomes both a symbol of hope and a point of contention. Into this fraught world steps Paro, a modest young woman whose love for Shravan brings a fresh, tender thread to the tapestry of ambition and discord.

When tragedy forces Paro into widowhood, the stakes shift from personal loss to the preservation of an entire lineage. Bound by duty to protect the inheritance, she contemplates a second marriage, a decision that intertwines personal sacrifice with the future of the estate. Around her, figures such as Shibo—her supportive sister—Binder, a steadfast confidant, and Chhote, a vulnerable family member, each reflect the varied ways love, loyalty, and survival intertwine in a world where land signifies more than wealth. The film’s tone is a poignant blend of rural realism and simmering drama, inviting viewers to linger on the fragile balance between tradition and ambition, and to wonder how far one will go to safeguard a legacy that has become both a blessing and a burden.
