Speaking about The Last Color, it is set in the cultural and ancient city of Varanasi. Neena plays the role of a 70-year-old widow named Noor who established a special bond with a 9-year-old girl Chhoti. Chhoti(Aqsa Siddiqui) is a homeless girl with aspirations of going to school and makes the ends meet by performing stunts like tight-rope walking and also sells flowers. The film is adapted from Vikas' book which he wrote a couple of years ago.
