IPS officer Ayan Ranjan (Ayushmann Khurrana) could be anyone of us — urban, educated, entitled, shielded from, if not entirely immured to the ugly ground realities of the country. The kind who would know little of or could even be entirely unaware of caste based discrimination owing to their own privileged position in the fundamentally unjust world. The journey of Ayan, as he takes charge of Lalgaon as upper police superintendent, becomes a cinematic primer of sorts for the distanced and the disengaged.
