Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Following riots in Gujarat, Arati experiences guilt that she didn't open her door to shelter an injured Muslim woman; her husband Sanjay had looted merchandise from shops and his brother Devan had even sexually molested Muslim women. Young lad Mohsin leaves the safety of an army-guarded camp to look for his father. Music maestro Jahangir Khan faces isolation. Sameer Shaikh and his Hindu wife Anuradha decide to relocate to Delhi. Muneera suspects her Hindu friend Jyoti of setting her house on fire, while biased officers continue to oppress Muslims, and five Muslim men find a gun and attempt to seek vengeance.
