Ameena explores the parallel lives of two teenagers from different eras - Ameena from 32 years ago, and Meena, a contemporary young woman. Both characters face similar life challenges, yet their responses diverge significantly.^[7] Meena, an actress, portrays Ameena in a play titled “Yahan Ameena Bikti Hai” at Prithvi theatre. The play is a poignant depiction of Ameena’s tragic story, who was sold by her parents to an elderly Arab man. The narrative takes a dark turn when Meena, after performing in the play, encounters a similar fate as Ameena.^[8]

The film delves into themes of justice, societal norms, and the resilience of the human spirit. It raises critical questions about the treatment of women and the pursuit of justice in the face of adversity.^[9]
