Nushrat will play the part of a pregnant woman who is isolated in a remote location, only to discover the evil truths that lie buried there. The movie focuses on female foeticide and how it is still largely practiced in India. In the original, Pooja Sawant is very impressive as Neha.

In the Kannada original, Shraddha Srinath aces the role and impresses with her performance as a vulnerable woman.

The Intern
