Plot
Kajro (Tannishtha Chatterjee) and Jethu (Nawazuddin Siddiqui) are fulfilling the eternal Indian dream of educating their children Ghumroo (Virendra Singh Rathod) and Panni (Suhani Oza). Kajro, the resilient mother, in the face of adversity inculcates great values in her children. Jethu as the mute patriarch suffers the day-to-day heartbreaks in silence.
Set in the present-day deserts of barren Rajasthan, the story line is about the daily trials and tribulations of the family and depicts the aspirations of rural India. Aspirations have arrived at every doorstep, but the means are far behind.
In the backdrop of state elections, a circus has come to a nearby town that may be Panni and Ghumroo’s only escapade to a fantasy world without any heartbreak. A flag on the door could be the key to this escape. Would Jethu and Kajro find it easy to see a small dream of their children come true or would they themselves become puppets in the circus of life?
