Plot

Shapit is a movie that talks about how some people have lots of money and power while others don't have much at all. It shows how the rich often treat the poor and people from lower castes unfairly, making their lives harder. In the movie, we see how these differences in social status and money affect everyday life. It's a reminder that the world isn't always fair, and some people have more opportunities just because they were born into wealth or a higher caste. The movie shines a light on these inequalities and makes us think about how we can make things more equal for everyone.
