It’s a 24 hours long story surrounding one joint family.
One of the daughters-in-law of the family is about to give birth. Their family astrologer has given a prediction that, as it has been for many generations, the baby will be a boy. But he also warns them. If the baby happens to be a girl, this will bring bad luck to their family.
They are excited to welcome their new family member but then are shocked to learn that the baby born is a girl. Coincidently that’s when tragedy strikes their family business. For a long time, they have been defaulting on multiple loans, and just now they received news that they might get caught.
Immediately they rush to the astrologer seeking a solution. The astrologer suggests, the problem lies in the fact that currently there are more women in the family than men. If this issue is not rectified in the next 24 hours then the family will lose their business and all their valuable assets.
Coincidently, back at the hospital, the baby girl has some complications. The doctor has given 24 hours to say for sure if the baby will survive or not. It’s not a wait-and-watch game. The family will have to use their contacts, resources and work together to save the baby’s life.
The question is, do they want to save the baby girl’s life? If yes, then will they succeed?
