When the time comes for Sadashiv to marry, his parents inform him that his biological parents live in the city and want him to settle there. Sadashiv bids a tearful farewell to his village and its inhabitants. He travels to the city of his birth parents. The rest of the movie presents the young man's comic struggle to adjust to city life, its corruption, and its hypocrisy.
