However, his journey takes a darker turn when he learns that his uncle was murdered, and a Dalit domestic worker named Needs is arrested as the prime suspect. As Anil navigates the complexities of rural life, he encounters a host of colorful characters, including the village headman and an insightful farmer, while also grappling with issues like caste politics, corruption, and gender disparity.
