The film beautifully portrays the boundless love between a husband and wife and the sacrifice and devotion of a mother. Amrapali Dubey appears in a completely new avatar. The story revolves around Ganga (Amrapali Dubey) and Gautam (Dr. Mahesh Kumar), who are living a happy life with their children. Slowly, Gautam falls into alcoholism, and the land on which Ganga's house stands is claimed by a nearby school. A husband lost to addiction and the fear of losing her home slowly crumble Ganga from within. Some objects on the screen become more than props--they become alive. The way the director has captured Ganga's pain when her drunk husband returns home every night is sensitive and praiseworthy.

Meanwhile, the influential village Thakur, Subedar Singh (Dev Singh), casts a dirty eye on Ganga and attempts to violate her. At that moment, the extraordinary presence of mind shown by Ganga's young children proves that wisdom is never bound by age. Child actors Aarav Verma, Sayesha Natekar, and Agastya deliver remarkable performances.
Things worsen when Subedar Singh causes an accident involving Ganga's daughter Pinky. During her treatment, it is revealed that Ganga is suffering from blood cancer. The story then takes several dramatic turns. Subedar Singh doesn't stop here; he finds Gautam alone one day and brutally murders him. As tragedies pile upon Ganga, she is left to shoulder all responsibilities alone. During the emotional sequences, Sajan Mishra's background music gives the scenes a soul.
When a helpless mother cries, even the sky tears apart. Amrapali proves yet again why she is one of the finest actresses in the industry. The blend of helplessness and courage on her face will break you from within and make your heart pound. Life becomes even heavier when a woman loses her husband and learns that she herself has only a short time left. If you don't shed tears by the end of the film, then what can one even say?
