설명
In the bustling streets of Bombay in 1921, Perveen Mistry emerges as a groundbreaking figure in the male-dominated world of law, bravely navigating the complexities of her heritage and the expectations of society. As the first female solicitor in India, she confronts not only legal challenges but also the deeply entrenched cultural norms that dictate the lives of women in her community. Her journey is marked by both ambition and personal sacrifice, as she strives to advocate for the rights of the widows of Malabar Hill, who face oppression in the wake of their husbands' deaths.
As Perveen delves deeper into a contentious inheritance case, she uncovers secrets that threaten to unravel the fabric of the wealthy families involved. Tension mounts as she must juggle her professional duties with familial obligations, all while grappling with her own identity and position within a rapidly changing society. With each revelation, Perveen becomes an emblem of resilience and empowerment, challenging the status quo and forging a path for women in law and beyond.
