The almost two-and-a-half-minute trailer opens with people from various backgrounds – a pilot, a sex worker, a daily-wage labourer, a house-worker and mother, among others – trying to keep up with Covid-19 lockdown updates. At first, Ahana, a pilot, distracts herself by flirting with a neighbour, and Prateik Babbar, a migrant labourer is hopeful his wife, a house worker (Sai), and him will resume work ‘soon’ as the lockdown will end in '21 days’.
However, against all their hopes and wishes, the lockdown continues and they must now make choices to either give up, or survive at all costs. Shweta Basu Prasad, who plays a sex worker, is seen finding new ways to earn money as physical contact is restricted due to Covid-19. Prateik, Sai and their children walk hundreds of kilometres to their village after failing to pay rent and being unable to survive in a big city with no income.
