Conflict comes knocking on the first day of their marital life, when Jaya leaves Keshav's house for good, after discovering that there is no toilet. Distraught and desperate, Keshav sets out on mission to win back his love- by battling against the age old traditions, mind-set and value system of his country.From the panchayat to the sanitation department, from the role of the government to the superstitions of the villagers, it's Keshav's journey from being a jugaadbaaz to standing up for a cause that we follow throughout the film. A journey in which he might realise the difficulties attached to making the toilet a household regular. Will the staunch villagers ever budge? Will Jaya give in to Keshav's love and make adjustments? Will things remain the same in this country? Do mind-sets ever change? Will India be a safer country for women by simply making toilets? Only time will tell.
