Storyline
Bharti, a factory worker from a marginalized caste, loses a promotion to Priya, who got the job through family connections. Though resentful at first, Bharti befriends Priya, and they share a close, unspoken attraction. In the end, social pressures around caste, class, and family keep them apart, as Priya leaves her job and Bharti finally gets the position.
“Two women. A secret bond. A world that keeps them apart.”
