3 Storeys is a 2018 Hindi-language thriller drama film directed by Arjun Mukherjee starring Renuka Shahane, Sharman Joshi, Pulkit Samrat, Masumeh, Richa Chadda, Sonal Jha, Aisha Ahmed, Ankit Rathi and produced by Priya Sreedharan, Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar. The film was released on 9 March 2018.

Mayanagar is a three-story chawl in Mumbai. Flory Mendonca, a Catholic widow, wants to sell part of her house but struggles to find buyers due to its high price. Eventually, Vilas, eager for a home near the station, buys it. In the same building, Varsha endures daily abuse from her unemployed, alcoholic husband while still harboring feelings for her past lover, Shankar. She bonds well with a neighbor and takes care of her young son. Suhail and Malini, from different faiths, fall in love, much to their parents' dismay. On the ground floor lives glamorous Leela, who exudes a seductive aura towards the men around. The lives of Mayanagar’s residents are filled with hidden secrets, revealed at the end when it's disclosed that Leela authored all three stories.

In the first part, Flory attends to a prospective buyer, Vilas, frustrated by his search for accommodation in Mumbai. Vilas doesn’t hesitate at the high price. As she goes to make tea, Vilas examines family photos and learns about her son’s troubled past and his fatal involvement in a robbery. As Vilas listens, he becomes anxious and starts gulping his tea, sweating. Flory reveals she never met the accomplice who escaped and informed the police about her son's location, but she knew he would come for the hidden diamonds. Vilas is the accomplice, and Flory has poisoned his tea. Vilas dies, and Flory buries him in her house, avenging her son. Now, she can leave her wretched home.

The story then shifts to Varsha, a woman tortured by her husband. Before marriage, Varsha loved Shankar and asked him to propose. Her father warned her that if Shankar didn’t come, he would marry her off. Shankar didn't show up. Varsha forms a close bond with a sympathetic neighbor, only to discover her husband is Shankar. They clear up a misunderstanding about their past, and Flory leaves her plot to Varsha, who begins a new, independent life.

Next, we follow Suhail, from a Muslim family, and Malini, the daughter of a pitiful mother. They elope but are soon caught. Malini’s mother seeks help from Suhail’s family, revealing Suhail and Malini share the same father. This revelation devastates them.

The narrative, filled with suspense and surprise, reveals Leela, the author of these stories, as a simple woman in a wheelchair, reading a newspaper about her anonymously published story. The headlines praise the captivating tale of Mayanagar's residents. Leela shows how she crafted a fictional narrative from the dark realities of human intimacy and love.

In reality, Varsha is a dominant, happy woman, not tortured at all, and rides a scooter with her loving husband. Suhail and Malini are just friends, and Flory is far from evil.
