Plot

Deva Kumbhar and his wife Paru have six children. They hope that once Paru's brother Shankar finishes his studies, their financial situation will improve. Shankar completes his education, and Deva and Paru begin to believe their dreams are finally within reach. However, Paru’s frequent pregnancies, Deva’s meager earnings, and mounting debt from a moneylender add to their burdens. When the moneylender learns that Shankar plans to start a ceramic factory, he seizes their house, which devastates Deva, leading to his untimely death. Shankar’s engagement to Champa is postponed, as he now bears the responsibility of caring for his elder brother's family. When Shankar falls ill, Paru calls Champa and decides to leave for Mumbai with her children, determined to live with dignity.
