Saand Ki Aankh is based on the real-life sexagenarian sharpshooters, Chandro and Prakash Tomar (played by Bhumi Pednekar and Taapsee Pannu respectively), 'Saand Ki Aankh' first gives us a sneak-peek into the lives of these two sister-in-laws when they were newly-married.
The ladies toil hard day and night and are majorly confined to the four walls of their houses. They are covered in ghoonghat all the time and have to colour code their dupattas so that their husbands wouldn't mistake them for one another. When a doctor-turned-shooting instructor Dr Yashpal (Vineet Singh) sets up a shooting range in the village, Chandro's granddaughter Shefali decides to give it a shot. However once there, it's the former who ends up picking the rifle and hitting a perfect bullseye. Soon, Prakashi too follows her to the range with her daughter Seema. In a bid to boost Shefali and Seema's morale to excel in the sport, the 'Tomar Daadis' start practising shooting in secrecy with them, keeping the menfolk in dark.
Under the pretense of visiting religious places, Chandro and Prakashi start participating in many shooting competitions and winning medals. What began as an escape from their mundane living, slowly becomes a weapon for them with which they rebel against the patriarchial setup of the society.
