Lakeerein tells the powerful story of Kavya, played by Tia Bajpai, who seeks justice against her husband, Professor Vivek Agnihotri, portrayed by Gaurav Chopra, for marital rape, a deeply troubling issue often overlooked due to societal misconceptions about consent in marriage. The film, set in Lucknow and Ayodhya, delves into Kavya's emotional journey and its impact on those around her, like her friend Anita and maid Naseema, who've also suffered similarly. Advocate Geeta Bishwas, played by Bidita Bag, challenges the legal differentiation between married and unmarried women when recognizing rape, sparking a vital conversation about societal values and justice.
