The plot revolves around Smita, played by Radhika Apte, a reclusive gardener leading a quiet, sheltered life with her plants and routine, and is thrust into turmoil when a brutal double murder disrupts the town’s calm. As a police investigation exposes buried secrets and suspicions, Smita is dragged from her cocoon into a web of motives and hidden truths, becoming one of the prime suspects. Forced to confront a chaotic world, she fights to protect her fragile sanity while the question looms: is she an innocent bystander or the keeper of the crime’s darkest secret?
Talking about the upcoming thriller, Radhika Apte shared, “The trailer captures the unsettling stillness of Smita’s world. Playing her meant sitting with emotions that aren’t always easy to define, and that challenge was incredibly rewarding. Tisca’s guidance helped me find that fragile balance between quiet vulnerability and hidden strength."
