The son of a wealthy family, Monish falls in love with Deviyani, a girl from a considerably less privileged background. When Monish leaves to study abroad, the lovers plan to reunite, but desperate financial straits force Deviyani into a marriage with a philandering drunk instead. Deeply unhappy, she flees, taking her infant daughter with her and vanishing into thin air. Does fate have more than misery in store for the unfortunate Deviyani?

Set during one of India’s main peasant risings, the Telangana insurrection between 1945 and 1951 in the pre-Independence state of Hyderabad, the Bengali director’s first feature tells the story of Chander’s best-known novel (Jab Khet Jaage (1948)) from the peasant’s point of view. A young peasant, Ramiah, rebels against the corrupt rule of the nizam, and when his girlfriend has to submit to the potentate’s sexual coercion, Ramiah leaves. He befriends a Marxist activist (the rising was CPI-inspired) and participates in the Independence struggle.
