The music video tells the story of a woman who is just stepping out of matrimony. As a first in a long time, she begins to explore life on her own terms. Both the singing and the visual treatment pursue a poetic tone in aiming to bring the thought to life. 

The final result of the musical narrative, though marked by a little rawness, is soulful, accompanied by an intrinsic tenderness. The same remains evident in all of the symbolism it employs. Be it the image of boats waiting at the shore to sail away, a couple of birds as one flies away or simply an urban night where a woman drives alone with only the city lights as her companion, the imagery remains consistent.

‘Badastur’ echoes the idea of the status quo, and in the process, raises questions that eventually become primary forces within the narrative. When a man’s path crosses with a woman, Sunaina, the most terrible reality begins to unfold. Having borrowed money from a man, she is now at the receiving end of cruel extortion which is about to take the form of a sexual assault. The protagonist begins to invest his energy in helping her, and the film’s intentions are thus allowed delineation. Moments of high tension and anxiety define the plot progression as the circumstance begins to come dangerously close to a horrifying development. The film invokes ideas of corruption, of changing the order of things and finally questioning and altering the subsequent wrongs that have existed in society all along. Though not entirely lacking in imperfections when it comes to the progression of events, the storytelling and performances exhibit skill and competency.
