A warm, comedic family drama about two bickering sisters who discover their bond's true value only when life separates them.

In a dusty Rajasthan village, two sisters, Badki and Chhutki, are constantly at each other's throats over trivial matters. Their father, a widower, struggles to keep them from tearing each other apart. Their meddling neighbour, Dipper, enjoys stirring up trouble between them. But when marriage takes them to different worlds, they discover how much they need each other.
