Surya Mohanty

The disparate lives of three generations of women living simultaneously in a contemporary, rural Indian town are chronicled in this socially conscious drama. The three women are Vijaya, a recently widowed and deeply depressed young woman, her elderly aunt, and Sonia, a girl in her early 20s. In addition to their own problems, the three must cope with the increasing urbanization of their home village, changing attitudes, and the erosion of cultural values.

The film revolves around a respected educator, Hari Master and his two sons Biplab and Sangram. Following his retirement, Hari Master`s health deteriorates and he becomes physically incapacitated. The two brothers eventually go on to marry their respective wives who happen to belong to opposing political parties. A battle ensues between the two brothers during election time as to which party gets to secure the old man`s vote, only to end in a tragic twist resulting in Hari Master`s sudden death. The brothers make amends with each other after this but not before learning a bitter tasting lesson.
