Synopsis of the Film:


The story revolves around a girl named “Khadeeja”. The first scene of the movie shows that Khadeeja is not happy with the sexual and the marriage life. Her mother in law is a grumpy one. Khadeeja’s mother is mentally retarted person who stays alone with the help of a caretaker. Later Khadeeja’s mother- in- law family comes to know that Khadeeja’s brother has been connected with ISIS group. Because of Khadeeja’s mother-in-law forces her husband to give talaq(divorce) to Khadeeja and he gives talaq just over the phone. Khadeeja takes her mother and goes and asks many people for help. She believes that her brother is innocent. But nobody helps her. So she goes to Aboobakkar who took care of Khadeeja’s brother for some time and Aboobakar refuses to help them. He writes a letter and gives it to Khadeeja. She takes it to a man in darga and stays there for some time. After some days she comes to know that her brother has been killed. She gets shattered. The man in durga gives his old house’s key and tells Khadeeja and her mother to go stay there. There a journalist sees Khadeeja and gets closer to her to talk about her brother. She takes a picture of Khadeeja and her mother and posts it to the newspaper. After some days Khadeeja’s mother comes to know that his son is dead. She gets shocked and dies later that day. Khadeeja feels like she lost everything in her life. After this incident Khadeeja’s track in life changes. She becomes a sex worker for survival for a while. She stops being a sex worker after she realises that she got pregnant. She doesn’t tell anyone that she is pregnant. The man from darga comes to visit Khadeeja and she confesses only to him. Khadeeja plans to give food to people as per the last wish of her mother. So she invites people around her village to attend the iftar party. Before the day of the iftar party the policemen come to Khadeeja’s house. They take Khadeeja to a place and start harassing her. She starts bleeding. Policemen get afraid and admit her to the hospital. She survives but unfortunately the child dies. Khadeeja puts the child inside the cover. The next day the iftar party happens as per plan. The preparation of food happens in full fledged. At the time no one notices Khadeeja puts her dead child inside the biryani vessel and cooks the child with it. Everyone starts eating the biryani and Khadeeja just stands and enjoys the visual of it. She confesses to the man who came from darga about this. He gets heartbroken hearing this and just leaves Khadeeja and leaves. Khadeeja realises that the last person in her also left her. She just walks from there and feeds some dogs and jumps off a railway track and presumably dies. In the last scene Khadeeja stays on the top and her husband down. They both have sex and Khadeeja is the one who is in controll. Khadeeja gets the pleasure and she gets up and goes to the restroom. This scene presumably depicts the life that Khadeeja wanted to live.

Sherlock S4 E3

A panic-stricken little girl wakes up on an aeroplane and finds everybody asleep. She picks a mobile phone up and hears  Jim Moriarty  announce "Welcome to the final problem". Mycroft Holmes  is at home, where Sherlock and Watson disable his home security to trick him into revealing that his sister,  Eurus , exists. At 221B Baker Street, Mycroft explains that Eurus was an era-defining genius on a par with  Isaac Newton , with abilities far greater than Sherlock's and Mycroft's, coupled with a total lack of normal sensation and emotion. Mycroft reveals that their parents sent Eurus to a mental institution after she kidnapped and drowned Sherlock's dog Redbeard, and after she burned their home down.
