Well Done Abba

Armaan Ali, a Muslim driver in Mumbai, takes a one-month leave from his employer to search for a suitable groom for his daughter Muskaan, who lives in a village near Hyderabad. He explains the stakes to his boss and sets off with a sense of urgency. This marks the starting point of his long, personal quest.

Armaan does not return as planned and his employer grows concerned about his reliability. After three months away, the boss decides to sack him, though he asks to hear why Armaan stayed away. The conversation leads to a crucial turn when the boss agrees to listen to Armaan's story.

Moved by Armaan's plea, the employer grants permission for a drive to Pune to pursue a meeting relevant to his daughter's future. Armaan travels from Mumbai toward Pune, carrying the weight of family expectations. This chapter foreshadows a transition from personal duty to broader community involvement.

Back in the village, a man named Arif demands 500 rupees from Armaan, creating urgent pressure. Muskaan steps in and pays the debt to prevent a vendetta, reinforcing her role in the family's struggles. Meanwhile Armaan's twin brother is arrested for debt-related theft and later released, adding more tension at home.

To combat the drought gripping the village, Armaan and a friend visit a government office to push for building a well. They go through the necessary steps, explaining their needs and even having a photograph taken as part of the process. The effort shows the community's resolve to secure water resources for the future.

As plans for the well unfold, Muskaan develops feelings for Arif, complicating the dynamics. Armaan initially disapproves of the budding romance but gradually comes to terms with it. This emotional thread adds complexity to the family decisions.

Armaan and Muskaan attempt to report the missing well idea to the police, but the inspector treats the story as foolish and refuses to listen. The sense of injustice grows as the community feels neglected by law enforcement. The failed communication sparks calls for accountability.

Frustrated villagers, led by Armaan and Muskaan, protest at local authorities and appeal to the justice minister. The minister punishes the inspector for his lax behavior, signaling a shift toward answering the people's grievances. The inspector, realizing his mistakes, begins to engage the villagers more openly.

With the inspector's changes and the minister's intervention, government teams are authorized to build the well for the villagers. The drought relief begins to take shape as the project proceeds, bringing tangible relief to the community. The people celebrate a turning point after months of hardship.

Once the drought is resolved, Armaan proposes that Muskaan marry an Arab sheikh, hoping to secure a future through a high-profile match. Muskaan resists the idea and argues with her father, highlighting her own preferences and autonomy. This decision marks a shift from survival tactics to personal choice within the family.

A friend, Sakina, sends a letter recounting a brutal beating she endured from her own sheikh husband, shocking Armaan and Muskaan's mother. Disturbed by the letter, Armaan reconsiders the proposed matches and decides Muskaan should marry Arif instead. Muskaan is relieved by the new plan and looks forward to a more stable match.

Armaan's story reaches its climax at an awards ceremony, which he describes as a 'big drama'—made dramatic by the literal collapse of the stage. The spectacle delights onlookers and sways the employer's decision. Impressed by Armaan's resilience, the boss offers him a path back to work.
