Kavya's battle for justice becomes the film's major theme, shedding emphasis on the legal and societal hurdles that victims of marital rape endure.
With a tale set in popular Uttar Pradesh locales, Lakeerein displays the scars of marital rape not only on her life but also on the lives of her maid Naseema and her friend Anita, both of whom have experienced similar crimes in their marriages.
In the courtroom, Bidita Bag's character, Advocate Geeta Bishwas, faces off against Ashutosh Rana's character, Advocate Dudhari Singh. Geeta's fight against injustice calls into question society's moral ideals and its proclivity to recognise marital rape. Apart from Ashutosh and Bidita, it stars Tia Bajpai, Gaurav Chopra and Aman Verma, Rajesh Jais, Saharsh Shukla, Mukesh Bhatt, Anil Rastogi, Ali Mohammad in pivotal roles.
