At the heart of the story is a single father, J.A. Krishnamurthy or JAK, as he is fondly called, played (Adil Hussain). The story is woven around how JAK relentlessly follows a trail left by delicate clues to find out how his teenage daughter, Smriti (Maya Tideman) ended up almost dead in hospital.
Helping JAK in his chase is a single mother, Meera (Roshni Achreja), who is unable to make sense of her husband’s callousness. He walked out on their marriage out of the blue, leaving her to bring up their two growing children and care for her aging mother and grandmother, all on her own.
This incident gives JAK a peek into his daughter’s world. The subplot, subtly touches the subject of gender- biased, sex selective abortion and how fiercely guarded the issue is.
