Filhaal… is a poignant tale of friendship, sacrifice, and emotional turmoil. Tabu plays Rewa, a woman who deeply desires to become a mother but is unable to conceive. Her best friend, Sia (played by Sushmita Sen), is a fiercely independent and modern woman who unexpectedly offers to be a surrogate for Rewa. What begins as an act of pure love and support soon becomes complicated as emotional boundaries blur.
