The story is based in Varanasi and is about Pandit Chaturvedi (Pankaj Kapoor), a highly revered and learned Brahmin priest. A baby is abandoned by a woman and brought to his house by his daughter. He agrees to adopt the child due to requests from his wife Parvati (Supriya Pathak) and his daughter Vedika(Ananya Tripathi). Life takes a turn when the boy's mother returns and says that she lost her child during the communal riots.After the family finds out that the boy is Muslim after they have become attached to him. The family gives back the boy to his mother. Chaturvedi engulfs himself in purification processes to cleanse his body, mind, and soul due to contact with a Muslim soul. By the time Chaturvedi thinks he is fully purified, the child reappears ; seeking refuge, due to Hindu-Muslim riots and a group of people chasing a muslim man to slay. This is when Chaturvedi realizes the true meaning of scriptures, that the true religion is humanity.The movie ends with a message of communal harmony that " Dharm is not just penance and practice,Dharm is Unity,Dharm is Brotherhood,Dharm is non-violent."
