While some reviewers at India Today and Hindustan Times noted it could be preachy or predictable in parts, its intent to educate was widely appreciated.

Sanya Dhingra lives in the small town of Karnal, Haryana, and struggles to find a job despite her chemistry degree. She eventually takes a high-paying role as a "condom tester" (quality check manager) at a factory owned by Ratan Lamba (played by Satish Kaushik). Due to the social stigma, she hides her profession from everyone, including her mother and her husband, Rishi (Sumeet Vyas), by claiming she works at an umbrella factory—hence the title "Chhatriwali".
