Plot
[edit]The film begins at a hill station where Narain serves his insane wife, Yashoda, who is in an asylum. She is the sort of person who lives in her world singing lollops to a doll. Besides, Aasha, the daughter of Narain's elder Sonu, is ready to depart for the U.S. with her kid. Thus, Sonu & his wife Lalitha wish that Aasha should take her uncle's blessing, which she denies—However, Sonu coaxes and proceeds when Aasha is disconcerted to know Narain as his birth father. Accordingly, Narain spins rearwards. During his college days, Narain loved and knitted Yashoda. The couple starts their marital life in a joint family consisting of Narain's parents, Sonu & Lalitha, and their child, Raju. Lalitha is a vainglory who disrespects elders and shows carelessness towards her infant. Yashoda oversees and sweets Raju as her own. They all lead delightful lives as one, but Yashoda is perturbed as childless. Raju is a lovely end to Yashoda, who thinks and calls her a mother who begrudges Lalitha, which leads to hostility. Tragically, Raju dies in an accident when Yashoda becomes a lunatic until she is pregnant. Soon after the delivery, Narain entrusts the baby's responsibility to Sonu & Lalitha, one of those reformed and moves away with Yashoda. Listening to it, grief-stricken Aasha silently meets her mother and trains her child to hook up with Yashoda. Finally, the movie ends with Aasha proceeding to the U.S.A. by sacrificing her kid with Narain & Yashoda.
