Summary: Huns Pics' last film transferred the Mahabharata Savitri tale about marital devotion to a modern Maharashtrian middle-class setting exploiting antiWestern feelings to advocate a traditionalist misogynist ideology. Satyavan (Vinayak), a university professor, admires the beautiful, Englishspeaking and cigarette-smoking Arundhati (Chitnis), wife of a colleague. He hires a tutor to train his own wife Savitri (Meenakshi) in Western manners. When Satyavan succeeds in having an affair with Arundhati, she humiliates him by making him do domestic chores and then abandons him for the rich Z. Marutrao (Pendharkar). Satyavan finally comes to his senses and asks the gods to intervene, which reunites him with the faithful Savitri.
