Living by the side of rich households, the sisters learn a thing or two about them. How gifted the rich are or the kids there.While on the other side they struggle for one time cooked meal. Once the baby is born, everything starts coming apart. Vinod Agarwal lays eyes on Meenal, which he has been doing since she started working there. One time he tries to grab onto her and molest her in front of Binny. This results in the sisters running away to Sushil. Sushil tries to discuss the matter with the sisters until Vinod arrives in fury. To take out the anger of Meenal walking away from him, Vinod opts towards Sushil. He beats him down by making up a reason that his laundry stall is not allowed near the premises. Still, at the end of the day forgives and invites all three of them to the party for his baby.
The Death And Investigation

So, what carries on is an investigation. The police grab their hands on all three Sushil, Meenal, and Binny, who become the prime suspects. The investigation takes the Police to the revelations of Vinod trying to molest Meenal and Abha, women whose house Meenal worked at, being jealous of Vinod’s wife having a baby. In the end, Abha comes ahead to confess. We are not revealed about what the conversation was between the police inspectors and Abha as it is muted. It somehow leads the officer to Binny and her bag, which has Agarwal’s baby’s toy. So what happened here? So the thing is, Binny is the one who killed Baby. As we saw in one of the party scenes, the last baby was with is Binny, and Abha had noticed the fact. Not a grown-up man or woman but an innocent child who opted to go for this movie. What led her to do this? Throughout the short film, Binny often mentioned how she thought about rich people being gifted. As mentioned above, the sisters struggle on an everyday basis for a single bread, whereas the rich ones get gifted right away. In turn, she compared the rich one’s baby to a toy as in Khilauna, much like how the rich ones do to them. The one they are taking so much care of while on their sides, there are struggles after a struggle. Plus, another thing was Agarwal groping Meenal which Binny witnessed right in front of her eyes. That one incident and Suhas getting beat is something that might have fueled Binny’s motives. Probably coming to the fact how rich treated them like a plaything.
