A mother-daughter duo with poor materialistic conditions but rich spirits navigate through the streets of Old Delhi when mystery and mischief come knocking at their door.
Things turn very dangerous very soon, and despite their best efforts, they're thrown into a game of life and death. If that wasn't enough, past trauma catches up, and with it old fears and anxieties.
It's a race against time and rich men in power for these two women, as they scramble to protect the remains of the modest lifestyle they'd worked so hard to build.

Say Cheese! Mr Mafia
Abhilasha is sick of her mundane life, but with a bank account that can barely cover her rent, she's not jetting off to Paris like the heroines in her favorite books. Instead, she books a one-way ticket to Goa, hoping to escape for a while-and maybe find herself along the way. Uday is a man who commands fear. A billionaire with dangerous ties to the mafia, he's built his empire through ruthlessness and control. His sprawling mansion in Goa is a reflection of that-luxurious but cold, much like the man himself. Abhilasha, his family friend's niece, is nothing like the women in his world. She's wild, curious, and refuses to be intimidated by him. But for Uday, that's exactly what's unsettling. She doesn't fit into his ordered, controlled life, yet somehow, she feels like she belongs. Abhilasha is terrified of him. The power he radiates, the darkness that lingers around him-it all makes her feel small and fragile. She knows better than to trust someone like Uday, yet she can't seem to stay away. Every time they cross paths, she's torn between running and staying. But Uday doesn't make things any easier. Despite his cold exterior, he finds himself drawn to her in ways he can't explain. She disrupts his routines, makes him laugh with her awkward humor, and somehow makes his house feel more like a home. Yet, as the days pass, Uday realizes he's not ready to let her go. Abhilasha and Uday may come from different worlds, but somehow they fit. And as their unlikely connection grows, so does the fear that neither of them might be able to leave it behind.
