Four eminent Indian directors explore sex, desire and love through short films in this sequel to 2018's Emmy-nominated 'Lust Stories'.

Four lives intersect along the Ganges: a low caste boy in hopeless love, a daughter ridden with guilt of a sexual encounter ending in a tragedy, a hapless father with fading morality, and a spirited child yearning for a family, long to escape the moral constructs of a small-town.

Honest inspector Aditi Singh and hard-boiled cop Rudra investigate a multiple suicide case. They stumble upon a darker truth revolving around the corrupt politician Yadav and Shankar. The political nexus forces Rudra to become the angry-young-man and one-man-army all rolled into one.

It tells the inspiring story of a woman who, after surviving a brutal acid attack, refuses to be defined by society's rejection and follows her passion for music.

Her powerful voice, often compared to that of Lata Mangeshkar, helps her rise above the prejudice she encounters. Mangla's journey is a powerful testament to the strength of the human spirit, proving that true beauty lies in resilience and talent.
