Plot

edit

Prakash and Nandini share a joyful married life and decide to wait a few years before starting a family. However, as time passes, Nandini becomes increasingly eager to have a child, while Prakash remains hesitant, reminding her of their initial five-year plan. Her longing grows so intense that it begins to affect her well-being, and seeing her distress, Prakash agrees to move forward with having a baby. Nandini soon becomes pregnant, filling the family with excitement, though Prakash and his mother secretly harbor concerns.

As Nandini nears the end of her pregnancy, she overhears a conversation between her mother-in-law and Prakash's friend Sudama, revealing a long-kept family secret—a curse that claims the father’s life if a son is born. Fearful for Prakash’s safety, Nandini considers drastic measures to prevent the birth, but by then, it's too late. All they can do is wait and see how fate will unfold.
