Plot
The show is based on the story of the mill workers, who have lost their job as the company (mill) has shut down. The main protagoist Uma (played by Smriti Irani) has to work hard to run her family as her father and brother have lost their job.
Thus, Uma tries to motivate the people of her 'basti' to work hard to conform various roles in the running of a mall, so they can all have jobs to run their families. Besides being a hard worker, Uma goes to school to fulfill her dreams even though that is not her parent's priority.

Famous quotes containing the word plot:
“The plot was most interesting. It belonged to no particular age, people, or country, and was perhaps the more delightful on that account, as nobody’s previous information could afford the remotest glimmering of what would ever come of it.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
“We have defined a story as a narrative of events arranged in their time-sequence. A plot is also a narrative of events, the emphasis falling on causality. “The king died and then the queen died” is a story. “The king died, and then the queen died of grief” is a plot. The time sequence is preserved, but the sense of causality overshadows it.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
“James’s great gift, of course, was his ability to tell a plot in shimmering detail with such delicacy of treatment and such fine aloofness—that is, reluctance to engage in any direct grappling with what, in the play or story, had actually “taken place”Mthat his listeners often did not, in the end, know what had, to put it in another way, “gone on.””
—James Thurber (1894–1961)
