+Damini (Sheshadri), the virtuous daughter of
+an impoverished father (Srivastava) who is
+worried about getting his two daughters
+married, achieves the impossible when the
+millionaire Shekhar Gupta (Kapoor) falls for
+her. Shekhar’s family, including his mother
+(Hattangadi) and his mother’s brother (Anand),
+are initially against Damini but finally accept
+her, until an incident disrupts the entire family.
+On the day of Holi, Damini witnesses her
+husband’s younger brother and his three
+friends rape a maidservant. The entire family,
+including her husband Shekhar, conspire to
+hush up the scandal. When Damini refuses to
+keep silent, the family, aided by a scheming
+lawyer (Puri) and a corrupt police force, try to
+make her go insane. She is eventually helped
+by a down-and-out lawyer Govind (Deol) who
+defends her in court. For a remarkable essay on
+this extraordinary woman-centered melodrama
+and mild commercial success, see Madhava
+Prasad, ‘Signs of Ideological Re-Form in Two
+Recent Films’ (1996).
