The film was announced on 24 December 2018 by Padukone on her Twitter account; it marks her first production venture. Filming took place from March to June 2019 in New Delhi and Mumbai.[5]
The film was theatrically released in India on 10 January 2020.[6] The film was allowed by the government to be exhibited without payment of taxes in the states of Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan.[7][8][9] It received positive reviews from critics.
The film opens with a group of protesters fervently protesting against a brutal incidence of rape, while an old man struggles to draw attention to the plight of many acid attack survivors. A reporter named Alka meets Amol Dwivedi (Vikrant Massey), the creator and head of a foundation for acid attack Survivors, and informs him about Malti (Deepika Padukone), an acid attack survivor fighting for a ban on sale of acid. Malti is looking for employment, and Alka puts her in touch with Amol, who employs her in his foundation.
In April 2005, Malti is attacked in a busy market street in New Delhi. The Police investigate - based on Malti's and her boyfriend Rajesh's (Ankit Bisht) testimony, they suspect Basheer "Babbu" Khan (Vishal Dahiya), a family friend of Malti's, and his brother's wife Parveen Shaikh. The police arrest Babbu after triangulating his phone signal in the same area as the attack, while Malti undergoes a series of surgeries to reconstruct her severely damaged face. Malti's parents work as domestic help in Shiraz's (Payal Nair) house; she helps financially with Malti's treatment and hires Archana Bajaj (Madhurjeet Sarghi) to be Malti's lawyer.
Archana notes that acid attacks and burning someone with hot water come under the same section of the Indian Penal Code, so the punishment will be the same. In the first hearings, it is clear that Babbu and Parveen are guilty, as Malti's story is corroborated by witnesses and Parveen has the tell-tale burnt fingers from throwing acid. However, as the law doesn't treat acid attack as a serious crime, Babbu is able to make bail and continue on with his life. Malti recognizes the need for a change to the law and regulations on acid sale, and She and Archana prepare a petition. Meanwhile, Malti's brother Rohit is diagnosed with advanced intestinal tuberculosis.
In August 2009, the court sentences Basheer Khan to 10 years and Parveen Shaikh to 7 years of rigorous imprisonment, but they appeal the verdict to the High Court. Meanwhile, Malti collects funds for treatment and legal action for other acid attack survivors. She and the foundation fight for her petition, eventually succeeding in having the penal code amended. In 2013, another acid attack at a Mumbai railway station claims the life of Pinky Rathore, which leads to public outrage and leads to regulations on acid sale. Meanwhile, Malti becomes the face of acid attack survivors and develops feelings towards Amol.
Finally, it is revealed that Basheer indeed planned the acid attack on Malti in a fit of jealousy, and carried it out with help from Parveen Shaikh. In October 2013, the Delhi High Court rejects Basheer's appeal, sending the attackers to jail. The film ends with another acid attack in December 2013, and laments that despite the new regulations and media exposure, the frequency of acid attacks has not decreased over time, while acid is still bought and sold freely in India.
