A passionate college student named Usha Mehta sets out on a voyage of rebellion against British colonial control in the bustling streets of Bombay. Accompanied by her unwavering partner Kaushik and fellow scholar Fahad, Usha boldly descends onto the streets in demonstration, emulating the passionate calls for liberty that resonate across the country.

With the arrest of Mahatma Gandhi and the imprisonment of other notable leaders, the shadow of tyranny has become much larger over the country, necessitating creative resistance. Usha comes up with the audacious idea to launch an underground radio station that would covertly transmit the words of freedom into her fellow citizens' homes in the middle of this turbulent crucible.

The stakes keep rising. The video tells a compelling story of Usha's tenacity, ingenuity, and the unrelenting pursuit by British soldiers who want to silence the sound of freedom.
