action
This is the story of 3 men on death row. Jaggu, a lawyer and poet, is in custody for killing his wife for betraying him. He confessed and made the acquaintance of two other death row inmates: the frustrated Naagya, who allegedly threw his wife in front of a moving car, but claims it was an accident. And with Ishaan, a bank robber who shot the cashier when he fell in a bank robbery.
The warden Mohan treats the inmates in a humane way, despite their past, and allows the documentary filmmaker Chandrika to make a film about the three inmates.
During the interviews, Chandrika and the three men get closer. Chandrika also gains strength from this to defend herself against her husband Sunil, who abuses her and to overcome her painful past.
