Determined to make him quit drinking, Badru tries various methods, including insisting they have a child. However, Hamza's violent tendencies persist, and their relationship becomes even more strained.

Amidst their personal turmoil, Hamza finds himself at odds with the society members of the chawl they reside in over the renovation of the building. Badru, against Hamza's wishes, attends a crucial meeting that decides the fate of the renovation. Unfortunately, she faces another brutal beating from Hamza as a consequence.

Zulfi, a frequent visitor to Badru and her mother, Shamshunissa "Shamshu" Ansari, witnesses the daily torture Badru endures. In an act of compassion, Zulfi files a complaint against Hamza for physical abuse. Hamza is arrested but manipulates Badru into believing he will quit drinking once they have a child. Trusting his promises, Badru gets him released from jail, only to suffer more abuse as Hamza's behavior remains unchanged.

Hamza's life takes a dark turn when he discovers he has cirrhosis of the liver, which forces him to quit drinking or face death. Coincidentally, Badru reveals she is pregnant, but Hamza's decision to stop drinking is not fueled by their future child, but rather his failing health. Despite this, Hamza's suspicions of Badru's fidelity grow, leading to a series of brutal attacks and a devastating miscarriage caused by a violent confrontation.

Determined to seek justice, Badru decides to turn the tables on Hamza. She administers sleeping pills, ties him up, and inflicts upon him the same pain and torture she endured. As events unfold, Hamza's boss becomes suspicious of his absence and visits their home, leading to a chain of lies and revelations.

Amidst the chaos, the police investigate Hamza's disappearance, suspecting an affair between Badru and Zulfi. However, Zulfi claims to be in love with Shamshu, adding another layer of confusion. Hamza, who has arrived at the police station, tries to convince them of the abuse he suffered, but his intoxicated appearance undermines his credibility.

Badru, Shamshu, and Zulfi arrive at the police station to bring Hamza back home, but tensions escalate. A plan is concocted to tie Hamza to a railway track, symbolizing his demise. However, in a moment of realization, Badru sets him free just before a train passes, narrowly saving his life.

In the aftermath, Shamshu reveals a dark secret to Badru, exposing the truth of her own abusive past and the ultimate fate of Badru's father.
