The Storyline
Somewhere in the Hindi heartland, an ashram of sorts has been set up by Rajjo (Madhuri Dixit) where women armed with axes and sickle and dressed in pink nine yards, mete out the evil and seek out justice for one and all, while making hand-ground spices, hand-woven baskets and hand-woven sarees. But when the party she was campaigning for reveals its true colors. Rajjo knows she has a whole new battle ahead of her. And a force of evil she hasn't encountered in the past - Sumitra Devi (Juhi Chawla). Whose money, bullet, connection driven juggernaut of politics is a threat she hasn't encountered before. Realizing the devil is soon enough going to swamp and silence and encompasses the work she has been striving for all these years, and bring her into a deadlier web of buyout, Rajjo has to battle this new unseen devil. At the ballot box. With something she has lived to learn all these years - The strength of soul. Song. And stick. This season the colour of justice is pink.
