This film is very bold at expressing the struggles of a woman living in the South Asian society. The first part of this movie revolves around all the things a wife has to face after getting married and the second part revolves around the consequences her family has to face after they turn her into a monster.
As a wife and daughter-in-law, Vaidehi (Ulka Simone Mohanty) tries her best to make her home a happy one. She is very enthusiastic to get started with her married life but soon she realizes that she is completely lonely. She finds out that her husband is cheating on her and her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are nothing but her rivals. When she tries to confront her husband about her suspicion of him having an affair with his secretary, she gets beaten up in return. Her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law make her life a living hell by emotionally torturing her and turning her husband against her at every possible chance. She tries her best to talk to her husband about the emotional detachment she feels, but she is berated in return and reminded about all the facilities and luxuries he is providing her even though she comes from a poor family. She looks for a friend in her therapist who also ends up taking advantage of her.
The movie also expresses the stereotype in the South Asian community that it is okay for a man to cheat on his wife, but when a woman is even suspected of having an affair, she is brutally punished without further investigation into the matter.
Her every attempt at improving her relationships with everyone around her is met with oppression and abuse. After being brutally mistreated for a long time, Vaidehi has had enough and she gives up hope at making her home a better one and decides to take revenge. And the revenge she has planned is as horrifying as it is well-deserved.
