However, Jayesh, who strongly believes in having equal rights for both men and women, decides not to inform his family that the child is a girl as he wants the baby to be born.

He makes a plan to elope with Mudra and Siddhi to Laadopur, a fictional village in Haryana, whose entire population are strong males only.

The men in this village posted a video to social media begging women to come to their town, saying that they will treat them with immense respect and love them like they are queens.

After Jashoda one day arranges a meeting with a doctor who could predict the gender for the expected child, Jayesh feels pressure to execute his plan.

This act sets off a series of events, some fortunate and some not, where Jayesh, his wife, and his child have to escape the clutches of his parents and all the men in the village of Pravingadh.
