| 12 | Melodrama about good and evil in a country/ |
| 13 | city conflict. The brothers (Prabhu and Satyaraj) |
| 14 | live in a village. They are deliberately insulted |
| 15 | by their haughty urban cousin Kavitha (Nadia) |
| 16 | who is to marry the villain, a rich, Americareturned |
| 17 | millionaire. When Kavitha’s parents |
| 18 | die, creditors take all her wealth and her fiance |
| 19 | now refuses to marry her. She is forced to find |
| 20 | a job in the factory of the villain (Ravi) who |
| 21 | tries to make her his mistress. Both brothers |
| 22 | love their cousin (by Indian convention, one of |
| 23 | them should have married her) and try to court |
| 24 | her. When one of the twins is charged with |
| 25 | theft by the villain, the other kills him and goes |
| 26 | to jail, from where he emerges white-haired to |
| 27 | see the other twin married to the cousin. The |
| 28 | film reiterates, in the words of a Deep Focus |
| 29 | review, the conventional commitment to |
| 30 | relationships of a ‘familiar and communal |
| 31 | nature as against secular relationships between |
| 32 | individuals’. |
