Summary: Melodrama about a classical dancer who, after
an accident, has a leg amputated. With an
artificial leg known as the Jaipur foot, she
returns to dancing and regains her earlier
reputation. The film was promoted as a
fictionalised version of the real-life story of its
lead actress, Sudha Chandran. Other characters
include a henpecked father, a cruel stepmother
and a boyfriend who is the cause of the
accident and promptly abandons Mayuri when
she becomes a cripple, adding to her
determination to regain her lost self-respect.
