Plot
Mrs. Balsara (Swaroop Sampat), an elderly Parsi lady suffering from dementia, stays alone, while her daughter Meru lives in Boston. One afternoon, Mrs. Balsara sees her servant Rancho (Arun Kushwah) entering her house with a mask and a big knife. While the lady is in a state of shock and fear, Rancho tries to rob her of money. When he is busy counting the cash, Mrs. Balsara hits him with a potted rose plant and rushes to get help. A young tenant (Nidhi Singh) finds her in a state of panic and calms her down, reminding her that Rancho had robbed her 6 months back. She tells her that she is having another flashback of the incident, of which she has developed a deep fear. Still confused, Mrs. Balsara heads back home, as the girl walks towards her car. Suddenly, Rancho lands on the car, who Mrs. Balsara threw off her balcony. The film ends with Mrs. Balsara smiling peacefully as she waters the wilted rose plant, she hit Rancho with. In its essence, the story talks about how a fragile woman threw out the fear resting in her mind and emerged a stronger person.[6]
