Shot on the location in a Musheerabad jail in South India, this film is a story of three prisoners; a small time crook Ishaan Mirza (Naseeruddin Shah), a lawyer Jagdish Prasad (Jackie Shorff), and a young guy Musooniri Nagender Babu (Nagesh Kukunoor), who are awaiting execution of their death sentence. While Naagya is an innocent who is tortured to confess the crime of murder he never committed, Ishaan has killed a pregnant woman unintentionally and Jagdish has intentionally killed his wife (Sujata Mehta) as she was to ditch him for her lover. Life was a dull routine for them in the prison until Chandrika (Juhi Chawla) starts researching within the walls for her short film.
