After a flashback of a murder that took place five years before the main story, the film turns to the present, where Inspector Jatil Yadan, a small-town officer who still lives with his mother and is pressured by everyone around him to get married, is tasked with investigating a high-profile member of a rich aristocrat named Raghuveer Singh. Jatil arrives in the manor, only to find that the man was murdered with his own weapon during his wedding night, and that none of the inhabitants of the house seems to know or have heard anything.

The story is set in a small town in Uttar Pradesh and follows Jatil Yadav, a police officer played by Nawazuddin, who is investigating the murder of the patriarch of an affluent family – Raghubeer Yadav (Khalid Tyabji) – on the night of his second wedding.

Veteran actress Jaya Prada, last seen in Atanu Bose’s Bengali film 'Atmajaa', is all set to make her debut on Indian television with the fiction show, 'Perfect Pati'. She will play the lead actor’s mother, Pramila Rathod, who has many shades to her character. An expressive, confident and righteous modern woman, she shows her mettle when she has to choose between right and wrong. The actress says, “Like all firsts, I’m sure it’s going to be formidable, yet a special experience. The medium of television is immensely powerful and it’s refreshing to know that such evolved and strong characters, and women-oriented stories are being written on this medium. Pramila will uniquely challenge and at the same time beautifully present the relationship of a mother with her son and daughter-in-law.” Jaya Prada insists that her character will be a complete breakaway from the saas of most Indian soaps.
