    Maniram, a businessman, lives in a small town, selling controlled items in the black market, extending political and police patronage and evading taxes. His elder son Dhaniram works in Delhi. Dhaniram marries a local girl and a son is born. Maniram's younger son is mentally deficient but is married to a sprightly, willful and ambitious girl. Maniram's wife came from very needy circumstances, before marriage. Also, the bride he had picked for his younger son similarly came from very needy circumstances, before marriage. The lives of Maniram, Dhaniram and the younger daughter-in-law are sprinkled with illegal wrong-doing. However, life has its ups and downs, and here the story becomes interesting.

    Maniram's home is noticeably ethnic. Mita Vasisht, as the younger son's wife, has acted well. This is an adaptation of an interesting Chekhov story. The movie is slow and unlike an Hindi commercial movie. It is a must-see from a respected Indian Director for lovers of Indian off-beat cinema.
