Summary: Medical students Chinmay (Mohanty) and
Anuradha (Aparajita) get married but disagree
on their professional priorities: Chinmay starts
a clinic in the village while his wife stays in the
city. The hero faces opposition from the local
medicine man (Meher) and from Gajanan, the
villainous son of the zamindar, who eventually
has Chinmay killed. Anuradha continues the
hero’s good work. The debut feature of Meher,
better known as the Hindi actor who played
Shabana Azmi’s handicapped husband in
Ankur (1973) and in several Benegal films.
Meher continued his mentor’s style of dialogue,
of a naturalist performance idiom and his use
of rural locations.
