Seven sisters and their mother step into a world never meant for them.
When renowned spice trader Mohanlal Verhomal dies suddenly, his widow, Bhagwanti, is expected to retreat from public life. Male relatives move to seize the family business, assuming she and her seven daughters will step aside.
Instead, Bhagwanti reclaims the keys and ownership papers. She places her daughters behind the counter of the family shop in Jodhpur’s Ghantaghar Market, one of India’s most male-dominated marketplaces.
The sisters learn to survive in a space built to exclude them. They face copycat shops, suppliers who refuse to sell to them and exclusion from the spice auctions. Then the intimidation turns violent: an attempt to burn Bhagwanti alive, and the threat of an acid attack against one of the daughters. Rather than retreat, the sisters adapt, persist and expand.
As they take the business beyond Rajasthan, Neelam sets out alone for Paris to chase her father’s dream of opening a shop there. Bhagwanti refused to step aside, and her daughters now carry that courage into the world, inspiring other women to follow.
