Summary: Atre’s comedy launched a long collaboration with Master Vinayak (e.g.
Brahmachari, 1938;
Brandichi Batli/Brandy Ki Botal, 1939). The hypocritically pious philanthropist Dinanath (Pendharkar) drinks alcohol claiming it to be holy water, womanises and swindles people in private. He is contrasted with common man Jagadish (Vinayak), abused by all for having failed his matriculation exam eight times and who is loved by the poor flower-girl Kasturi (Ratnaprabha). Jagadish eventually becomes the instrument for the public exposure of Dinanath which makes him a popular hero. He remains unaffected by this turn of events and remains Kasturi’s faithful admirer.
