The film chronicles the lives of nine women – all from different walks of life – who have died and who are imagined living in a room. Women from different segments of society are represented – a career woman, a few traditional Marathi women, a student, a girl with a drinking problem and even a child.

Writing about it, the Hindustan Times magazine said: “For a 13 minute film, Devi is surprisingly effective and punchy. A closed-room drama, it takes us straight on as we see a disparate group of women sitting A room together A housewife Jyoti (Kajol) who appears to be praying for those around her, worry lines etched on her face Yashaswini Dayama, clearly the youngest in the room and having trouble with her elocution, fiddles with a remote control of a TV box, reception is what it is.
