Plot

Rajawadi Remand Home is in lot of controversy because of many illegal activities. DK, a news channel bureau chief, wants to bring out the facts. Amidst channel politics, he appoints a newbie journalist Anjali to expose the racket and the dark side of the society shows its ugly face. It unfolds so many cruel realities of the crime & politics, which go ignored. The system is, however, not so easy to expose.[3]

The film attempts to highlight the harsh situations faced by kids in remand homes.[4]

Impact

Juvenile Act is implied for the betterment of children's future. But unfortunately the reality is unimaginable. The child, who comes to the remand home, is not criminal always. It is most of the time an unwanted child of the house or the parents are poor to raise this child.[5]

This film is a sincere effort to reveal the reality of these remand home girls in front of the society and make the society aware of the facts that these children lead a life worse than hell.[6] [7] We are part of this society, where we live a very secure life but the other side of the society is very dark, like a BLACK HOME.[8]
