+Melodrama about two old Parsee friends, the
+extrovert Pesi (A. Kher) and the shy Piroj
+(Shah), both in love with Jeroo (Azmi). Pesi
+marries Jeroo and also draws close to the
+widowed lawyer Soona (K. Kher). Piroj is
+transferred away from Bombay for five years
+and returns to find Jeroo had a miscarriage and
+that Pesi now prefers Soona’s company. When
+Pesi dies, his funeral is paid for by Soona who
+has borne him a son. Based on a short story by
+Karanjia written in the early 50s, the film is set
+among the Bombay Parsees. The acting,
+speech, decor and much of the storyline
+adheres to popular perceptions of a community
+often caricatured as idiosyncratic. The film
+often slips into flashbacks, usually from Piroj’s
+point of view.
