Udaan highlights the issue of bonded labour in Indian villages.
Set in 1996 in the village of Azadganj, Udaan is the story of the bonded labourers of a wealthy landlord, Kamal Narayan Rajvanshi. Chakor (Spandan Chaturvedi), is kept as servant under him. While Chakor's mother, Kasturi Bhuvan (Sai Deodhar), is pregnant with her, Kasturi's father, Hariya, dies in an accident. Bhuvan has nothing to donate in Hariya's funeral resulting him to beg for money from Kamal Narayan. Instead, his wife Tejaswini suggests that they have to keep the unborn child as a collateral. The couple agrees that the child can be Rajvanshi's bonded labourer. Kasturi gives birth to a daughter, Chakor. Tejaswini allows them to take her home for seven years; then she must be brought back to Rajvanshi to serve.
After seven years, Chakor enters the haveli. She is a fearless, kind-hearted, and intelligent girl. In the haveli, she meets and befriends Vivaan Rajvanshi, Manohar Rajvanshi's son. With Vivaan's help, Chakor escapes the haveli but is dragged back into slavery by Kasturi again. While being supported by Ishwar Rawat, she dreams of freedom. Ishwar adores Chakor like his daughter and wants her to be educated. Chakor goes to school, where Arjun Khanna (Vineet Raina), a physical education trainer, enters Chakor's life.
