Subhanrav (Shivaji Satam), Makarand's father, leaves no opportunity to blame his son for selling all his land on failed pursuits. Sumi (Medha) is Makarand's humble second wife. While the family is going through an economic crisis, a golden opportunity is presented when Makarand's daughter is selected for the final round of a dance competition with a huge prize money.
