Set against the backdrop of a conservative Indian society between 1980 and 2015, Women Are Not Helpless traces the tender yet turbulent journey of Chitra, a bright young woman navigating love, identity, and societal expectations. Born into a middle-class, God-fearing family, Chitra becomes the object of affection for Rajinder, a charming Sikh boy from her neighborhood. What begins as silent glances and subtle gestures soon blossoms into a quiet friendship - but in a world bound by rigid traditions, even the softest stirrings of love can spark harsh judgment.

As Chitra and Rajinder move from adolescence to adulthood, they must confront more than just the growing intensity of their feelings. From the whispers of neighbors to the invisible lines drawn by caste and culture, every step forward risks backlash. Yet, Chitra's evolving awareness of herself and her choices suggests a deeper transformation - one that challenges the very notion of what it means to be a woman in a patriarchal society.

More than just a love story, Women Are Not Helpless is a reflective tale of inner strength, quiet rebellion, and the power of a woman's voice in a world that often tries to silence it.
