There are many tragic newsstories of multiple suicides of three/four sisters in India due to dowry. Thisfilm makes three such sisters its protagonists. The film opens with them aboutto commit the act when they are interrupted and forced to postpone theirdeaths. What happens in this gratuitous period of six hours is the subjectmatter of the film. Without any flashbacks, the film brings out the essence oftheir lives which has led them to this decision. It explores all their joys andsorrows and mainly their zest for life even when death is virtually knocking attheir door. They shouldn’t have died. None of these girls should have everdied. How these tragedies can be avoided is the hope and the vision of thisfilm.
