Krishna Bhagat is the protagonist of Chalti Rahe Zindagi. Bhagat makes daily rounds in a busy housing complex, connecting three families with bread. Their lives disintegrate in three dramatic episodes as the pandemic tightens its grasp. In the first act, the film uncovers the affair between Arjun's wife and Aru's husband, unveiling secrets. After that, Krishna gets entangled in a money bind as Sushma presses for debt payback, encouraged by her ambitious son Akash, a television journalist. Three generations of women—the ageing Leela, her daughter-in-law Naina, and her teenage granddaughter Siya—entangle in a web of repressed emotions and competing ambitions in the last act, which takes place in the Seth household. The severity of the lockdown tests the characters' perseverance, connections, and self-awareness. Can these regular folks muster exceptional bravery when everything around them grinds to a standstill? Or will their lives' fragile equilibrium be irreparably upset by the constraints of confinement?
