Last Man in Tower Story
Set in an ageing Mumbai housing society, the film follows Yogesh ‘Masterji’ Mishra, a retired physics teacher. Developer Dharmen Shah offers residents a lucrative deal to vacate so a luxury tower can be built. While his neighbours accept, Yogesh refuses to leave the home tied to his memories, and his stand turns friends into opponents as greed and pressure strain the community.

The drama shares the intimate, character-led feel of Dilwali Diwali (2026), another recent Hindi drama centred on family, memory and the ties that bind people to a place.
