Drugs located in Chembur. At a birthday celebration on 15 December, Manisha invites their friends including Advocate Ashok Kumar (Vijayendra Ghatge). But she is shocked beyond her senses when she finds out that her husband has been arrested and charged with the rape of Poonam (Mallika Sarabhai), a telephone operator.
