Even today there are millions of girls in India who are abandoned at birth. Doree is a story of one-such girl, who was deserted at birth by her own family solely because she was a girl, an “inferior gender” and considered to be a burden. Ganga Prasad, a weaver of Banarasi sarees, while praying at the banks of the Ganga river, finds a girl child floating in the river. He saves the girl and despite his disability, adopts her. The girl now named Doree grows up to be smart, charming and free-thinking, who questions societal norms. On the other side is a powerful, rich Thakur family who are infamous for their legacy of sons and male heirs. Ironically, the head of this family is a woman- Kailashi Devi Thakur. Kailashi devi believes that the family legacy can only be carried forward by the male child. She is the gatekeeper of the Thakur family’s patriarchal legacy.
The show is a clash between Kailashi devi’s small rudimentary thinking and Doree’s innocent progressive questions.
