Plot

The film's plot centers around Ansar, the protagonist, his sister Suhara, and Ansar's fiancée Fida. According to their customs, Ansar did not bring Fida home until after the wedding. However, the story takes a dramatic turn when Suhara and Fida are kidnapped by ISIS terrorists while working abroad. The Ministry of External Affairs eventually rescues them and brings them back to Lakshadweep, along with several other women who had also been working overseas.

It is later revealed through the media that the rescued women were subjected to brutal sexual violence by the ISIS terrorists. This news shakes Ansar, who begins to doubt Fida's past and whether she too was a victim of such atrocities. When he confronts Fida, she falls unconscious and later reveals that she is pregnant. Ansar, overwhelmed by the situation, decides to end their engagement.

The film also explores the issue of sexual violence against women, as Suhara reveals that she too was a victim of similar abuse. This becomes a topic of discussion among the islanders. Meanwhile, Fida decides to raise her child as a pious Muslim.

It is worth noting that the film addresses sensitive topics related to sexual violence, cultural customs, and the challenges faced by women in certain situations. The storytelling approach is intended to be informative and thought-provoking, while also maintaining a neutral and objective tone.[4][5]
