Plot
[edit]Chotu (Dada Kondke) becomes deeply drawn to Maina (Usha Chavan), a Tamasha performer, much to the concern of his mother, Laxmibai (Ratnamala). She warns him to keep his distance, as his father’s life was once ruined due to his involvement with a dancer. Meanwhile, Maina faces pressure from her own mother, who expects her to follow the traditional path of Tamasha artists by attracting wealthy men. However, Maina refuses to accept this way of life, as she genuinely cares for Chotu.
At the same time, the village is shaken by a series of child kidnappings, creating fear among the residents. Determined to protect their community, a group of strong-willed women takes a stand against the culprits, with Chotu supporting their efforts. As events unfold, Maina begins to feel jealous of the growing bond between Chotu and the women leading the fight.
