Plot

Amoli is a 20-year-old girl and the eldest child of her parents. Amoli's friend, Kaumudi, is abducted by goons working for Thakur Digvijay, a rich landlord, because her father, Tukaram, is unable to pay his debts owed to him. Amoli fights the goons but is unable to save Kaumudi. Thakur Digvijay secretly keeps Kaumudi and spends the night with her. When she returns to her family, they do not accept, thus prompting her to leave the village. Thakur later orders his goons to set fire to his crops. This breaks Tukaram's family. Amoli's mother, Suman, wants to poison the entire family because she does not want her children to die of hunger.
