However, he receives a call from a kidnapper, demanding the same amount of money as ransom for his daughter, Vedica. Abhimanyu is caught in a dilemma—whether to pay the ransom or fulfill his promise to the deceased patient’s family. To make matters worse, Abhimanyu has a troubled relationship with his daughter, who has Down syndrome, and has often expressed regret and frustration over their relationship.
