Stolen ending explained
Diving straight into the major plot points and climax, it's important to note that Gautam was initially against helping Jhumpa, while Raman was determined to go all out to find the baby. However, Gautam later realized the urgency of the situation especially after seeing his own brother in a critical condition.
Was Champa actually Jhumpa's daughter?
Yes, Champa was indeed Jhumpa's daughter in the sense that Jhumpa had given birth to her as an illegal surrogate for a wealthy woman. According to the contract, Jhumpa was supposed to give up one child, but the people involved tried to take away her other baby as well to sell her. That's why she kept insisting that Champa was her daughter.
What happened to Gautam and Raman?
In the movie, a tragic mob lynching occurs in which both Raman and Gautam are severely injured. Jhumpa and the brothers take shelter in an unknown place to help Raman rest, as he was bleeding heavily. Jhumpa goes out to search for her daughter, and after a while, Gautam also leaves, but this proves to be a bad decision because the mob finds him and brutally attacks him. Fortunately, the police arrive later and try to save Gautam by telling the mob that he did not steal the baby.
Did Jhumpa finally find Champa?
Gautam connects the dots and realizes that the ambulance driver at the hospital they were at is involved in Jhumpa's baby's kidnapping. He also does his best to find Achelaal, the man behind it all. Gautam discovers that another baby is being sold to some people and uncovers how deeply illegal surrogacy is rooted in that hospital. Jhumpa then arrives, recognizes the baby as Champa, holds her in her arms, and lets out a sigh of relief.
