An assertive village-belle weds a semi-senile male and is abused by her in-laws.

Shyampur-based Vaid, the father of assertive Padma, is approached by the local Zamindar, who proposes marriage between Padma and his oppressive son, Vikram, to which he agrees. On the day of the wedding, she finds that she is to wed Raghu, the older semi-senile son. Though her father is ready to call off the wedding, she goes ahead and re-locates to live in the palatial house of the Zamindar. Shortly thereafter, she will soon find that her husband is being ill-treated and her attempts to assert his right will pit her not only against her benevolent father-in-law, but also against her abusive mother-in-law and Vikram himself.—rAjOo ([email protected])
