Description: **Kahaani 2 (2016) Hindi Movie Overview**
Vidya Sinha (Vidya Balan) is a dedicated middle-class mother living in Chandan Nagar, West Bengal, with her teenage daughter Minnie (Tunisha Sharma), who is paralyzed from the waist down and relies on a wheelchair. Despite her condition, Minnie remains cheerful, and Vidya works tirelessly to save money, hoping to take her daughter to America for treatment to help her walk again.
One evening, Vidya returns home to discover Minnie is missing. She receives a threatening call from an unknown man, demanding she go to a specific address or Minnie will die. As Vidya rushes to the location, a taxi hits her, leaving her in a coma. The taxi driver takes her to a nursing home managed by Dr. Maity (Pradip Mukherjee).
Police Sub-Inspector Inderjeet Singh (Arjun Rampal) is assigned to Vidya’s case. During his investigation, he visits her home and finds her diary, which he takes as evidence. Inderjeet’s senior, Pranab Halder (Kharaj Mukherjee), informs him about Durga Rani Singh, a woman wanted for kidnapping and murder.
As Inderjeet reads Vidya’s diary, her past unravels: She once worked as a clerk in a school in Kalimpong under the name Durga Rani Singh. There, she befriended Arun (Tota Roychoudhury), who had feelings for her. At the school, Durga noticed a student named Minnie Dewan (Naisha Khanna) was often punished for sleeping in class. Despite her efforts to connect with Minnie, the girl remained distant.
Determined to help, Durga visits Minnie’s wealthy grandmother (Amba Sanyal) under the pretense of offering extra tutoring. During the visit, Minnie confides that her uncle, Mohit Dewan (Jugal Hansraj), has been sexually abusing her. Having survived similar trauma herself, Durga reports the abuse to Minnie’s grandmother, but the elderly woman dismisses her claims. Durga then seeks justice by approaching the police, but an investigation led by Officer Koushik Sen concludes that Mohit is innocent. Distraught, Minnie attempts suicide by jumping off her house’s terrace, resulting in her paralysis.
The story of *Kahaani 2* intertwines Vidya’s present struggles with her past as Durga, revealing a tale of resilience and determination in the face of adversity.
