Summary: The village girl Gauri (Bhagya) is to marry
Ramesh, an urban office clerk (Kashinath),
who builds up his physique and reads sex
manuals while she clings to her adolescence
and plays with little boys. Arriving in the village
with a large supply of contraceptives, Ramesh
is frustrated by Gauri’s behaviour and allows
himself to be seduced by Padmi (Umashree).
He returns to the city with Padmi, who then
takes off with a criminal, which gets Ramesh in
trouble with the police. Eventually, a
transformed Gauri arrives with her family, and
Ramesh, in all sorts of trouble, gratefully
accepts her. Starting off as a rural sex comedy,
the film runs out of ideas in its effort to prolong
the narrative. It introduced future actor-director
Kashinath, an unlikely hero with few star
qualities but possessing a wry sense of humour
and an intimate familiarity with the details of
lower middle-class urban life.
