==Plot== | |||
Faiza Sufiya joins Delhi University as a research student who is researching on [[Mohammed Abdur Rahiman|Abdurahiman Sahib]], a freedom fighter from Malabar. She gets acquainted with Amal and other students with a sharp political stance. Her roommate was a student from one of the scheduled castes, Tulsa and she is the first one from her community to acquire higher studies. The activists and the anti-fascists of the university are protesting for the rights of Rohan, one of the students from scheduled caste. Faiza also becomes a part of it. The friends then jointly go for the wedding of Tulsa's brother. | |||
The Fascists of the university begin to go against them after the seminar conducted by Faiza. However, the dynamics of campus life take new forms after the killing of her roommate's brother, for killing a cow. The entire students of the university led by Faiza and her friends except for the anti-fascists support and stand for Tulsa, who had returned home after the tragic incident in her family. | |||
Following the humiliation and injustice faced by the backward communities and with the support from Pothuvaal, they decide to perform a [[Play (theatre)|skit]] supporting them and to make the other students realise those difficulties. | |||
As the other members of the team cannot be attacked, Faiza becomes the target of the anti-fascists. They fabicate accusations on her to be an anti-nationalist. Due to the accusations she is declared to be an anti-nationalist world wide. Soon they are on the run to save Faiza from those false accusations. Although they tried their best, Faiza gets arrested by the Police. But it was not officially recorded. | |||
Amal, Aadarsh and Pothuvaal along with Faiza's grandfather, who was also a freedom fighter together take efforts to find Faiza. Due to mass media effect, the Police had to reveal Faiza's arrest and she produced in the court. In the last minute for the skit, the anti-fascists get the skit members arrested, so that the skit won't take place. To the utter dismay of the anti-fascists, finally the skit is partially conducted by Amal and Aadarsh. The police and the anti-fascists stop them from completing it. At that exact time Faiza reaches the stage and completes the skit. | |||
