Synopsis by Eleanor Mannikka
This routine drama of romance and intrigue, with only two songs (unusual for any Indian commercial film!), focuses on Rahul (Amol Palekar), a sleazy, self-promoting industrialist, his affair with his son's nurse, and the workers that the nurse champions. Rahul intends to take over the company when his elderly father-in-law dies, but his ambitions find an obstacle in his wife's shady cousin (Girish Karnad), who has his own designs on the business. In the meantime, Rahul's employee's are rebelling -- they want better working conditions and a decent wage. Sooner or later, something will have to give. Rahul just does not want to be that something.
