Plot
The film follows Dr. Raju, a physician at a government hospital near a brothel area. Alongside treating patients, he raises awareness among sex workers about human trafficking and drug abuse.
One of the sex workers, Lutfar, falls in love with Masum, a trafficker involved in drugs and women smuggling. She becomes pregnant, but when Masum pressures her to help in trafficking under the promise of marriage, she refuses. Instead, she turns against him, even sacrificing her relationship.
Lutfar’s struggle continues as Masum abandons her and their unborn child. Despite social stigma, she decides to give birth. After her death, Dr. Raju takes responsibility for raising the child, sacrificing his career and personal life to nurture the baby with fatherly love. He resigns from his hospital job and moves to a new place to raise the child.
The story takes another turn when a DNA test reveals Masum as the biological father of Lutfar’s child. The child becomes the target of a trafficking ring that plans to smuggle him to Dubai for organ trade. Faced with this, Masum’s conscience awakens. Overcome with paternal emotions, he confesses the truth to Dr. Raju and urges him to escape with the child.[5]
