The film tackles the contemporary and highly debated topical subject of triple talaq, a tradition in Islam when a husband pronounces three repudiations At once rather than divorcing his wife once. This practice remains a frequent topic in social and media discussions, generating ongoing public debate. The film delves into this controversial subject, arguing that there are negative consequences of the prevalent practice of triple talaq. It juxtaposes social and religious perspectives on the tradition against modern societal norms, arguing that the practice of triple talaq is often misinterpreted and manipulated for personal gain, overshadowing its intended ethical and religious context.
Phir Ussi Mod Par premiered at the Berlin Film Festival 08 March; 2019[3] to a full audience and received a positive response. It was produced by Trinetra, Kanika, and Anshula Bajpai under their banner, Kanika Multiscope (KMPL).

editIn the film, Naaz is pregnant when she receives triple talaq from her husband, Shaheed. This leads her to attempt suicide.
