film detail

In the quaint hill town of Shottipur, northeast India, a sixty-year-old warm and cultured widow, Ma, lives with her thirty-something son, Uttam, a policeman. Uttam’s father, Baba, died on duty eight years ago, leaving Ma lonely and yearning for connection. Uttam, however, dismisses her as a simple homemaker, ignoring her intelligence and her past contributions to Baba’s cases. Their strained relationship deepens her isolation.
When 19-year-old Ishita, a talented girl, is found dead in her PG, Uttam joins the inexperienced police team tasked with solving the murder. The ruling party, eager to promote Shottipur as a tourist haven of honest folk, pressures Uttam’s boss, Tamang, to close the case in two weeks—preferably as a suicide—before the launch. Ma sees this as a chance to bridge the gap with Uttam. She logically debunks the suicide theory, impressing Tamang, who was Baba’s trainee and admired her skills. So, he recruits Ma to assist.
As Ma shines in the investigation, Uttam stubbornly refuses to acknowledge her worth. Then a second murder happens —of someone close to Ma, making things personal. With days left, a seasoned detective, Bondo, takes over, barring Ma from the station. Undeterred, Ma pursues the killer alone, risking her life, while Uttam remains at odds with her.
Will Ma unmask the murderer? Will Uttam finally see her for the brilliant woman she is? The answers to the who, why, and how of this gripping mystery unfold in Kaisi Ye Paheli a tale of resilience, redemption, and a mother’s unwavering spirit in the misty hills of Shottipur.
